“Do not forget about the foreign factor, how much money has been invested to destroy Serbia,” Vucic said in front of tens of thousands of supporters gathered for a meeting in the city of Nis, referring to the largest civic movement with which he had been facing power in 2014, first as prime minister.
Vucic has supported, without giving details or evidence that billions of euros were invested “from Europe and the world” to stop what he has described as the extraordinary development of the country in recent years.
“You cannot destroy Serbia! We will not teach you Serbia!”, Exclaimed Vucic repeatedly, while the multitude of several tens of thousands of people to applauded and chanted “AC (Aleksandar's nickname), Serb.”
