"Dear citizens, after many months of terror on the streets, unlawful and illegal behavior and suppression of the rights and freedoms of all those who think differently, elections were completed in Zajecar and Kosjeric. I want to ask all people, regardless of which political option they support, what they think, what their views about the future are, to unite and concentrate on our Serbia, on what we have to do in the coming period so that we can live better and so that we can improve the image of our country in the world, to bring in investors and increase salaries and pensions," said the president.

He reflected on the events of Sunday and pointed out that a big mistake had been made.

"It seems to me that we all made a big mistake after yesterday's results, I'm talking about myself and about us, not only about others who were declaring victory before a fifth of the votes had been counted. I'm talking about the fact that we all spoke about ourselves, about our political parties, about our successes and failures, looking at how to say something bad about the other, and I think it's much more important to talk about citizens, people, people, ordinary people - added Vucic.

He added that the state still has a lot of work to do in Zajecar and Kosjeric.

"I believe that in Zajecar we will have to do many things that we failed to do in the previous period. We were rewarded for what we did do, people knew how to punish us for what hadn't been done, both in Zajecar and in Kosjeric, but all this opens an opportunity for us to talk together. That's why I once again call on all those who think differently to start talking at all levels, to reach agreements, find as many common denominators as possible, to benefit our country. If some people don't want that, that's fine as well," said Vucic.

"These beautiful cherries and strawberries are from Serbia and let them be a symbol of a new beginning, and a symbol of conversation, cooperation and the future of Serbia, we must live together, we only have one homeland and that is Serbia," concluded the president.
