European Democrats call for dismissal of Serbian minister over statement that police have right to kill youth

“No democratic government can suggest, explicitly or implicitly, that violence against its own citizens — especially young people — is justified. This is a red line. President Aleksandar Vučić bears full political responsibility for this dangerous drift. If these words are not immediately withdrawn, Boris Bratina must be dismissed without delay. Serbia cannot claim to move towards Europe while tolerating rhetoric that normalises repression and intimidation. Europe stands with Serbian students, journalists and all citizens who are peacefully defending their rights,” said Gozi.
