Vučić: “We have fulfilled the environmental demands of the protesters. Then there was politicking."
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic reacted to the intention "Eco-Maidan activists" continue the protests, despite the fact that the country's leadership made concessions to them.
The Serbian president stated this, answering a question from journalists, during a ceremony to lay the foundation stone for a plant for the production of electric motors in Novi Sad.
“We have complied with the requirements. I listened to the people, including the people in Gornji Nedelica, who are under direct threat [from lithium mining],” Vucic told the press. “And what politicians say doesn’t interest me.” However, I even considered those demands that could be attributed to political whims, such as the question of taxes and the period for re-holding the referendum. But is this not enough for them? “It just shows what kind of political intuition I have, and that’s what I made clear when I addressed the public.”
Today in Novi Sad, in the presence of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, the construction of a plant for the production of electric motors of the Japanese Nidek Corporation began. The solemn ceremony of laying the first brick was attended by the CEO of Nidek Corporation Jun Seki, the Japanese Ambassador to Serbia Takahiko Katsumata, the Minister of Economy Andjelka Atanaskovic, the director of the Nidek Electric Motor plant in Serbia Marko Ivovic, and the mayor of Novi Sad Milos Vucevic.
