Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said that tragedies are always abused by the worst people for self-promotion and a bid to come to power, while those people never provide any help or support to the families of the victims.

"I think that people in Serbia can also finally realize that. If you think that the one who destroys the City Hall in Novi Sad and the one who only talks about changing the government is actually thinking about those who died in the (railway station) tragedy in Novi Sad, then it is clear to you that this is not the case. Those people want self-promotion and want to come to power in order to profit, while they didn't provide any help or support to the families, they didn't even offer their condolences," Vucic told TV Pink.

Regarding univeristy blockades, Vucic stated that he does not blame the students who participate in those, and even less so the majority of students who are not blocking anything anywhere, and who would like to study and learn, and whom he thanked for being tolerant and patient for just wanting to wait for their turn, to do what is their duty and responsibility.

Vucic added that the students blocking the faculties were mostly born after 2010, 2011 and 2012 and that they do not remember the time of the former government, and the evil that that government left behind it.

"These people think that it is completely normal that in this country you have a stable dinar exchange rate, that you have almost full employment rate, that it is completely normal that you have a significant increase in wages every year, in pensions, that you have so many (new) railways, roads and everything else - but we had none of that (before)," said Vucic.

Speaking about the New Year's Eve protest, he wondered that the point of that was.

"What was the point of this foolery on New Year's Eve? First of all, the people who died (during the Novi Sad railway tragedy) died at noon, not at midnight. You (protesters) won't let other people live. What was the point of all that?," Vucic asked.

Referring to the request from the opposition to form a transitional government, Vucic said that they think that would be a signal to everyone that there has been a change of government - as they did in 2000 - and that they would easily take over.

"Of course, there will be no transitional governments, I have already said that a hundred times, in this country those who have the majority in the National Assembly (parliament) will rule, that is, those who essentially, in accordance with the principle of popular sovereignty, receive the support of the citizens, in an election," Vucic stressed.

He added that representatives of the opposition parties are greedy and deceiving, using in that deception the tricks such as denying election results, criminalizing those who are against them, and dehumanizing their opponents.

Vucic said that "Proglas" - which, as he pointed out, is paid by the US, Scandinavian countries, Germany and other EU countries - is taking part in that, and that everyone brought together in that "initiative" is guided from the outside, and is strongly anti-Serb oriented.

He stated that the initiative included judge Miodrag Majic - who released jailed Albanians, who had tied up an elderly Serb woman in Gjilane to two vehicles to tear her body apart, raped pregnant women, killed babies and children - as well as freeing actor Dragan Bjelogrlic, who is a legally convicted thug.

Vucic stressed that the effort to depersonalize students has failed and that student Mila Pajic from Novi Sad is a follower of professor Dinko Gruhonjic, who is strongly anti-Serb oriented and who is doing everything to destroy Serbia any way he can.

Vucic added that the problem is that for the first time in the modern history of Serbia, the dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad is not a member of Gruhonjic's clan, and is not a member of the anti-Serb elite, as had been the case until now.

"And that was one of the key reasons for starting the whole story and for that kind of attempted revolution in our universities, that would bring those anti-Serb forces to power. So, you have Mila Pajic, you have (Pavle) Cicvaric, you have Davud Delimedjac, who is close to Sulejman Ugljanin regarding his policies, and not only his politicies," said Vucic.

Vucic pointed out that the northern autonomous province of Vojvodina will never be anti-Serb again.

"On the contrary, everyone lives together there, including our Hungarian brothers, Slovaks, Romanians, Ruthenians, Croats, and Bunjevac (minorities) ... And they all live well together. But for Vojvodina to be anti-Serb, because it is Serbs who are the majority - and they are an overwhelming majority, that will never be the case again, regardless of what some circles in central Novi Sad may prefer," said Vucic.
