Tadić visits southern Serbia

President Boris Tadic is in the south today, touring a construction site for a highway near Presevo. But he commented on the pro-Karadzic rally in Belgrade called for this evening, by saying that Europe wants a Serbia that respects own laws, adding that he finds it unbelievable that there are protests being held against respecting the law. Tadic visits southern Serbia While visiting the work being done on a Corridor 10 stretch near Presevo, close to the Macedonian border, Tadic said that “everyone has the right to protest, think differently, but the law must be respected,” adding that "while I am president and this government exists in Serbia, this is how it will be.” “There is no patriotism in hooliganism,” he continued, calling on young people protesting in the streets to “turn towards studying and rooting for their teams with sportsmanship spirit” instead. Tadic also accused those politicians who support hooliganism of becoming accomplices. Asked to comment the threats made against him recently, Tadic, who also heads the Democratic Party (DS), said that such occurrences are a part of politics and that anyone who does not count on something of the kind happening, and wants to be a politicians, "has obviously chosen the wrong profession". “What is immeasurably ugly is that offspring is being mentioned in various threats. That is a poor image of Serbia which is being sent to the world,” he said. “Everyone who wishes the country well, but maybe does not wish the same for my family and me, must know that every one of their messages is weighed by the world and sends a signal of what kind of country Serbia is,” Tadic said. The president added that "the institutions should be asked who arrested Radovan Karadzic" and that he can only, through the Council for National Security, secure civil control of the security services. Tadic is in southern Serbia today accompanied by Infrastructure Minister Milutin Mrkonjic, SPS, and Interior Minister Ivica Dacic, SPS. He described the completion of Corridor 10, stretching from Hungary to the border with Macedonia and Bulgaria, as a highway that will make Serbia a central infrastructure region of southeastern Europe. Tadic pointed out that once the construction of important roads and infrastructure has been completed, "Europe will need Serbia much more than it does today". “We should fight for Serbia to become the most attractive location for investors in southeastern Europe and the most attractive political location - to be a part of the solution and not the problem,” he said while touring the construction sites.
