Right-wing parliamentary parties deny accusations

“We rejected the cheap accusations and obscure attempts by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) to connect us to any form of extremism and violence,” the opposition NADA Coalition, Oathkeepers and Dveri Movement said in a joint press release.

It added that those parliamentary parties are continuing preparations for meetings across the country prior to a big national gathering in defense of the state.

The press release said that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic tried to deceive the public after days of targeting opposition MPs both through pro-regime media and personally. “The SNS propaganda machine with intelligence support from special advisors from Brussels and Berlin is trying to compromise parties that won the support of more than half a million people for their policies to keep Kosovo and Metohija in Serbia,” it added.

The parties accused Vucic of planning for “controlled chaos” and denied organizing the protest in front of the presidency.
