Outgoing Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic said that Tonino Picula MEP’s interference in the country’s internal affairs is scandalous, a government press release said on Friday.

Vucevic said that Picula, the European Parliament Rapporteur for Serbia, is “a well-know Serb-hater …. whose interference in Serbia’s internal affairs is scandalous especially his public call for students to come forward with political demands”.

“Tonino Picula has said all sorts of things against our country, accused our church of separatism and called it part of some ‘black hand’. The fact that some opposition parties and informal movements agree with him only confirms that they are part of his ‘black hand’,” he said and added that everything Picula says should be ignored.
