Serbian Maidan activists smashed the head of Trifunovic, who betrayed the idea of boycotting the elections
The leader of the pro-Western opposition Free Citizens Movement, actor Sergej Trifunovic, was beaten by protesters near the People's Assembly building for leaving the Union for Serbia movement.
Serbian media reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Like all oppositionists, Sergei Trifunovic came to the task of the People's Assembly this evening, demanding not just the easing of quarantine, which the Serbian leadership was forced to do after last night's unrest, but already a change in the ruling regime. However, Trifunovic failed to play the role of “petrel of the revolution” that had become familiar to him in recent years.
According to eyewitnesses, as soon as he climbed to the top, unknown masked men pulled him away from there. Then one person hit him on the head with a bag containing something heavy, breaking the oppositionist’s head.
Thus, the leader of the Free Citizens Movement was reminded of his exit from the Union for Serbia, which boycotted the parliamentary and local elections, which he left to participate in the election process, having quarreled with yesterday’s comrades.
This incident clearly refutes false assurances one of the leaders of the Union for Serbia, oligarch Dragan Djilas, who said that he had nothing to do with the past unrest, since it “happened spontaneously.”
On the contrary, experts noted that street clashes took place on the eve of negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia this Sunday in Brussels, and, in addition to Belgrade, they covered Nis and Novi Sad, where the leadership, unlike the capital, did not announce quarantine measures that became formal a reason to start protests.
