The authorities called for strengthening buildings, rather than going to rallies.

In March, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced that the country's Minister of Culture, Nikola Selakovic, had been attacked amid mass protests. According to the Serbian leader, the protesters once again showed that they do not really think about democracy in the country, and demonstrated their true attitude towards people who think differently from them.
