The editor of the political section of the portal Nova.rs, Vojislav Milovančević, commented for the N1 portal on the occasion of the adoption of the UN Resolution declaring July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica, that ever since the Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced that resolution, everything has been heading towards creating a circus.
“I somehow have the impression that we are in some kind of experiment as a society, as a community, where there is a persistent effort to test how much a people can endure, to live in conditions that are neither natural, nor logical, nor healthy,” Milovančević emphasized.
He also referred to Vučić’s wrapping himself in a flag at the UN General Assembly, indicating that it was a form of disrespect for the flag, using it for propagandistic purposes.
“Yesterday, at the moment when all this was happening, when there was a fuss all over the city, and when people ‘spontaneously’ took to the streets with flags, I witnessed a conversation between two people on the street, where one said, and I think it clearly explains everything we have gone through over the past month and a half, and perhaps even a year, ‘I would buy the flag, but the flag costs 2000 dinars, I don’t have that money to buy it. I want to, but I can’t. I don’t have the money.’ I think this explains the situation a lot,” he said.
He added that “if one person thinks of disrupting traffic during rush hour – they can do it, if they think of ordering church bells to ring, they will ring, if a person thinks of giving a topic, which essentially does not change anything in the relations of the great powers towards us, or generally in our international position, if they decide to put that topic on a pedestal and talk about it, we will only talk about it.”
Milovančević added that only in Serbia was it said that with that resolution the Serbian people were being labeled as genocidal, which is not mentioned anywhere, nor has anyone in the international community said that.
