Activists attacked in Belgrade, call for new protests, refuses talks with Dacic

Manojlovic called people for a new protest on Thursday at 7 pm due to “the impossibility to pass our demands through institutions.” He later refused to talk to Serbia's Parliament Speaker Ivica Dacic.

„We submit the Initiative to the Parliament. We asked for an urgent verification and were told it was passed on the (respective) Committee, which said it did not understand why it got it. It’s an obvious administrative obstruction. And now we are attacked and prevented from speaking freely. That’s why we will be outside the Presidency building on Thursday at 7 pm to show that the Parliament is not what Belgarde and Serbia deserve it to be,” he said.

In the meantime, Dacic messaged Manojlovic telling him he saw the incident and wanted to talk about the initiative he submitted.

Manojlovic, who tweeted screenshots of Dacic's messages and his response, said he did not want to talk to Dacic and replied that the organisation was attacked while a 22-year-old student spoke to the media.

Manojlovic reiterated they would be in the street again as of Thursday at 7 pm.

He added his organisation had an electronic petition signed by 292,000 people.

The Initiative scheduled a news conference for 1 pm but could not hold it.

An N1 reporter said the activists clashed with people who claimed they had been protesting there for two months.
