President of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabic, stated today that Serbia will not descend into civil conflict.
She emphasized that after nearly nine months of attempts to trigger a color revolution, the country has remained stable due to the strategic decisions of President Aleksandar Vucic, whose approach, she said, prevented any outbreaks of violence.
Speaking on K1 television, Brnabic expressed pride in being part of President Vucic’s team, which is committed to reducing societal tensions and maintaining unity. However, she acknowledged that many within the SNS, including herself, may not have fully grasped the extent of the government’s restraint in response to unlawful actions by demonstrators.
“When you look at it now, the only aim of the protesters and foreign actors was to provoke a reaction. They wanted the state to step in so they could cry ‘dictatorship’ and spark civil clashes. Fortunately, we avoided that, thanks to the President’s wise leadership,” she explained.
Brnabic said that more citizens are beginning to understand the events of the past several months, supporting peace, institutional order, and dialogue rather than conflict, hatred, and civil disorder.
She also commented on a planned celebration in Gorobilje, near Pozega, for the opening of a new section of the Milos Veliki highway. According to Brnabic, the event was sabotaged overnight when the football stadium set to host it was destroyed.
“People were looking forward to celebrating something they had dreamed of for decades. Now, they’re frustrated and confused. Media manipulation and financial interference can’t hide what they see for themselves,” Brnabic said.
She pointed to an incident in Novi Sad where a small group of demonstrators blocked the return of schoolchildren from an excursion for five hours, preventing their passage. Brnabic also referenced young people like students Milos Pavlovic and Vladimir Balac, who, she said, will never support those who insulted or humiliated them.
She described a disturbing scene in Novi Sad last week where police had to protect students and professors heading to exams while demonstrators hurled insults. “Can anyone support that after witnessing it? No. Thanks to Vucic’s careful approach, Serbia chose the tougher, but smarter way forward. And that’s why this victory is so significant—it offers a path to long-term stability,” Brnabic concluded.
