New measures in Serbia to be considered today, before the 24-hour curfew

 

"There are some other measures before a full ban on movement except going to the store and pharmacy on weekends, where we see that the situation is the worst in terms that we see that people going out - each weekend after April 6, the weather will get nicer, and we keep an eye on that."

"There are some other measures before the introduction of a 24-hour curfew, and we will discuss some of these today. People will be informed. It seems to me that as society we function better now. We said when we entered this fourth week that we needed iron discipline, we said that we must win this fight together and that is the discipline of society - personal responsibility, self-awareness, solidarity. Because we need to worry about who will need these ventilators tomorrow," PM Ana Brnabic said earlier as she spoke for RTS.
