Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that when new parliamentary elections are held, the ruling party will win them more convincingly than last time, according to Serbian media.

“People do not want to vote for the destruction of their country, they do not want to vote for those who destroyed faculties and universities,” Vucic said on Monday during his visit to Jagodina (Central Serbia), adding that the gap in public trust between the ruling coalition and the opposition is widening.

On Monday evening, Vučić opened a tourist complex and memorial in Jagodina named after the popular Serbian politician and businessman in the Pomoravlje district, Dragan Markovic Palma, who died in November 2024.

Jagodina is the administrative centre of Pomoravlje.

During his visit to Jagodina, the Serbian president commented on a recent concert by Croatian singer Marko Perkovic Thompson, calling it the largest fascist gathering “since before World War II.”

“It was indeed the largest fascist gathering. Before and during World War II, there was no such mass gathering directly promoting fascist, Ustasha ideology, which is the worst form of Nazi ideology,” said Vucic, responding to a journalist's question about the fact that representatives of the European Commission (EC) had stated that they had no comment on Thompson's concert in Zagreb.

He added that Serbia was used to the EC not reacting to such events, while on the other hand, as Vucic noted, “they say that the police in Serbia should refrain from excessive use of force against protesters.”
