Shaip Kamberi, a deputy representing Albanians in the Serbian Parliament, has stated that the recent threats made by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić are typical behavior of “an autocrat whose power is waning.”
Kamberi referred to Vučić’s threat to use the “Cobra” unit to suppress student protests, as well as his threats against teachers.
“Vučić and his currently uncontested power are facing the most serious crisis. He sees that the rebellious students do not listen to him, that many sectors of society are threatening him with disobedience. Confronted with circumstances he has never encountered before, he is displaying such insecurity that he is threatening teachers, stating that he will ‘dismiss them in the second semester’. He is also threatening protesters with the use of the special unit ‘Cobra’. But his biggest blunder was his threat about the so-called ‘loyalists of the SNS’, as he calls them, saying that they ‘are over 17,000’, ‘assemble in the church’, and ‘are pro-Russian’, meaning Putinists. The loyalists, as he himself has presented them, are his praetorian guard, ‘ready to shed blood to prevent a change in power’. These threats are typical behavior of an autocrat whose power is fading, but still hoping that these absurd threats will help him maintain his power,” Kamberi wrote on Facebook.
According to Kamberi, Vučić, in an attempt to divert attention, has also launched attacks against Kosovo and Croatia, as well as Sarajevo and Podgorica.
“Kurti and Pristina, Plenković and Zagreb, Sarajevo and Podgorica, have become part of his daily rhetoric in an attempt to hide the true perpetrators of the Novi Sad tragedy. His stubborn refusal to take responsibility for the tragedy, and his regime’s role in it, is facing Vučić with an ever-growing number of opponents from various sectors of society,” Kamberi wrote.
