Hunger striker in parliament

Dimic is on hunger strike demanding that President Aleksandar Vucic meet the demands made at the Serbia Against Violence protests for the past two months. Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) official Vladimir Djukanovic approached him on the lawn in front of the presidency on Wednesday to try to convince him to give up the hunger strike.

Opposition MP Djordje Stankovic invited him into the Serbian Parliament building. He told Danas daily that he saw that as his obligation. “Dimitrije Dimic has started a very brave undertaking. It is my obligation as MP to bring him into parliament and try to make sure the public sees and hears him,” Stankovic said.

The MP said he wants Dimic to stop his hunger strike, saying that some other way to fight should be found.
