Famous film director Goran Markovic told N1 late on Monday that people in Serbia were mainly free from fear and that the regime should consider it.
He added that “the transition from slavery to freedom comes naturally; people should not think and work on it much.”
Commenting on recent environmentalist protests, he took part in and the authorities’ reaction to them, Markovic said the regime “doesn’t keep those people (protesters) hypnotised,” and that made the situation different.
“The things changed. People are free from fear and see it (the regime) is a paper tiger,” Markovic said.
The director came under fire after telling a weekly that Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic would provoke resistance “if he introduces an open terror.” He added he hoped Vucic would remember how Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu ended up and would step down with no blood spilt.
Markovic said the attacks on him showed the authorities were confused and started panicking, added that since he became the regime’s target, people in the street greeted him.
Commenting on failing to get the state financial support for his new ‘Doctor D’ film, Markovic said he would find a way to make it.
He added he believed the film was rejected because those who decided saw it as an allusion to Radovan Karadzic, wartime political leader of the Bosnian Serbs, who avoided justice for 12 years. For some time, he worked in Belgrade as an alternative medicine and psychology expert under Doctor Dabic alias.
Karadzic, 76, a trained psychiatrist, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Hague Tribunal for genocide and other war crimes.
