"I will ask the prime minister of Serbia to show me clearer arguments for a decision to revoke the licenses issued to Rio Tinto or any other company than the noise coming from Rockefeller-funded organizations," said Vulin, who was on an official visit to the Serb Republic.

He stressed that his vote could not be expected on the basis of a threatening force, but on the basis of the needs of Serbia and its development, and that until he receives arguments that are not based on unreported and illegal protests, the beating of peaceful citizens who use their constitutional right to move freely, until it is explained to him why a group of thugs is more important than legal procedures, he will not declare himself on the issue.

"Before I make a decision, I will ask President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic to present his position to me personally, because I know that he does not accept orders, neither from thugs, nor from foreigners," said the minister of Internal Affairs of Serbia.
