"Today we are again looking at photos of destruction in Novi Sad, done by a group of people who hate our city so much that they want to destroy, defile and humiliate it with every move they make, and with their actions they want to force decent folk to stay at home.

The people of Novi Sad were, are and will be people who love their city and respect its history. A group of opposition supporters led by Dragan Djilas, Marinika Tepic, Bora Novakovic and the like, who carry out terror on our streets, squares and against cultural monuments on a daily basis, have continued to do that," Gojkovic said, according to the provincial government.

She added that this government helped Novi Sad with about one million euros in order to repair the damage done to the City Hall during protests the previous month.

"That money was allocated from the budget funded by all of us, all residents of Novi Sad and our province, and those funds could have been invested in something else, in a new health center, in schools, in developing communal infrastructure, in ecology and the fight for a cleaner Novi Sad, or in anything other than repairing the damage done daily by a destructive opposition," said Gojkovic.
