Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced his belief that Belgrade will send an invitation letter to American and Russian security agencies tomorrow, following claims that authorities deployed a “sonic cannon” during the protests held on Saturday.
In a press conference in Belgrade, he expressed confidence in the expertise of both the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), while accusing the opposition and their supporters of fabricating the sonic cannon narrative.
“Let them (FBI and FSB) determine the truth in five, ten, or twenty days… It’s crucial for historical accuracy to highlight how they lied,” Vučić remarked.
He criticized the opposition, professors endorsing blockades, and specific media for “misleading the public and grossly lying” about the alleged deployment of the “sound cannon.”
“You can’t perpetually create falsehoods; ultimately, they will backfire on you… we didn’t even raise a baton; the police were remarkably patient,” he stated.
According to Vučić, it does not faze some in the opposition and their supporters that law enforcement, military, and BIA officials asserted there was no “sound cannon.”
Earlier today, Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević declared that the government is prepared to formally invite the US FBI and the Russian FSB to investigate the purported use of a sound cannon during Saturday’s protest in Serbia.
