Milos Vučević, Chairman of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), has addressed the controversy surrounding an incident in Novi Sad last January, wherein a student sustained a broken nose allegedly due to violence involving SNS activists. Speaking on the matter, Vučević offered his account of the events, contradicting reports of the student being struck with a baseball bat. Vučević stated that the injury did not result from an assault with the bat.
Instead, he suggested the injury occurred when the student fell during what he described as “a kind of scuffle.” Furthermore, he added that during the incident, the student subsequently injured a doctor when she fell. Addressing the confrontation involving the activists, Vučević characterized the student as an individual who is physically robust, tall, and large, noting that she was actively engaged in fighting during the altercation. He recounted that he was informed of the commotion and the resulting injury that morning.
The discussion about the incident resurfaces amid the context of past controversies, including his prior resignation from the post of prime minister following reports of violence attributed to SNS activists. Vučević’s statements focus on mitigating the severity of the initial assault, attributing the student’s injury to a fall rather than direct battery by the activists.
