PM Macut urges unity on November 1

Macut told the Serbian state television (RTS) that November 1 is more than just a date on the calendar, and that the day should be marked in a dignified and peaceful manner.

He said the state will strive to maintain order on the streets and ensure a sense of security for all citizens.

“We cannot remain passive when we see destruction, demolition, or attacks on property and buildings. That would be a sign of the state’s weakness,” the prime minister said.

He added that the top priority for the country’s leadership is for Serbia to continue developing and moving forward.

Asked about the situation at universities, Macut said he was pleased with how things were progressing and that the new academic year had begun at most schools and colleges.
