Reacting to the blockade of Radio-Television Serbia, President Aleksandar Vucic said today that the authorities would react in accordance with the law and that he was convinced the situation would not turn into any sort of violence.

"Don't worry about the blockade of RTS. I guarantee that no one will be endangered, that we will act in accordance with the law, and that there are no dangers. We will safeguard everything that needs to be safeguarded," Vucic told reporters at a joint press conference with the French defense minister.

Vucic added that effort would be made to apply no force, even that which is in accordance with the law.

"I believe everything will go democratically. Serbia is a democratic country. I don't believe that a small group of people could think they can bring about something more serious with violence," said Vucic.

The blockade of Radio-Television Serbia began at noon, and as leaders of the Alliance for Serbia (SzS) announced, the protest will last until 8 pm.
