Vucic says EP resolution on Serbia in line with coloured revolution

BELGRADE - Commenting on a new European Parliament resolution on Serbia, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said it was logical, expected and in line with a coloured revolution, and that its condemnation of alleged use of a sonic cannon - which he noted had not taken place - said everything about the MEPs' seriousness and sense of responsibility.

"As you have seen, the majority of those who wanted to speak were Croats. Six of them, if I am not mistaken. It is all expected and logical, all in line with the coloured revolution," Vucic said in a public address at the Palace of Serbia.

"There have been much more stern resolutions. What I am concerned about is that, when someone tells you 'we have relevant sources that have established that a sonic cannon was used'", what that tells me is not only that a part of the people there are pathological liars - you have that in every society, every parliament, every place. But I must admit I did not expect the pathological lying to be at European parliament level," Vucic said.

The EP resolution, tabled by individual Social Democrat, Green, EPP, ECR and Renew Europe MEPs, was carried with 457 votes for, 103 against and 72 abstentions.

The non-binding document includes remarks about the situation in Serbia following the November 1, 2024 roof collapse at the Novi Sad railway station, as well as about protests sparked by the incident.
