"The reason for my news conference is that, as the prime minister, I once again appeal to the organizers of tomorrow's rally in Belgrade to avoid at all costs the scenario of conflict, attacks on other people, destruction of property," he said.

He added that he is particularly worried about yesterday's meeting in Novi Sad, in which he says "the people leading the protest, teachers from a high school in Novi Sad, also participated."

"I am concerned that they are publicly and very clearly preparing a scenario for assassinating President Vucic. I think they mentioned 'civil war' six times, attacks on the public service, on other institutions... What we heard was the preparation for a terrorist act by a group of political extremists," said Vucevic and added:

"We will not allow a division into first and second class citizens."

Vucevic appealed not to attack the police who protect all of us, our children.

"Those people are doing their job. If you attack the police, you will bear the consequences," he said. No one can be stronger than the state, he stressed.

"My appeal is - don't check if that's true. You have the right to assemble, but you do not have the right to terror and physical violence. Political extremists are preparing for terrorist actions. We ask the rector of the University of Belgrade to reply what is being prepared for tomorrow," Vucevic said.
