Eurovision winner writes to Tadić

Marija Serifovic sent an open letter to President Boris Tadic thanking him for “defending her from the EC’s staged attacks.” “Thank you Mr. Tadic for fighting for my rights, and issuing orders to ministers to defend me from the non-existent and staged attacks coming from the European Commission (EC). I did not ask you to do so, and it is nice that you 'made the effort'. While you are at it, Mr. Tadic, defend me from your own,” reads the letter sent by last year’s Eurovision Song Contest winner to the president.

On January 24, the president asked Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic to react to an EC statement that it would reconsider whether Serifovic, because of her support for Serb Radical Party (SRS) candidate Tomislav Nikolic, deserved to carry the title of ambassador for inter-cultural dialogue.
