The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia
and the Montenegrin Helsinki Committee strongly condemn the
orchestrated harangue and chase against Dr. Prof. Nikola Samardžić.
The regime of Aleksandar Vučić, which, in addition
to the security and intelligence services and abused government
structures, also consists of the controlled media, including the
so-called “football fans”, groups and people from the mafia and
criminal milieu, does not give up the sinister practice of targeting
and persecuting anyone who has a critical attitude towards the
policies he implements.
The current Serbian government's need for
"internal enemies" and "enemies of the state", who dared to think
and speak differently than the President, does not abate. The reason
for this is simple: Vučić constantly needs enemies, his life is
constantly threatened, and internal and international "conspiracies"
prevent him from achieving his goals - which in everything,
regardless of his propaganda and control of all government
structures in Serbia - are the opposite of those that the
international community has been expecting and looking for from him
for years in vain.
The long and tragic list of journalists and
intellectuals who paid the highest price for their involvement in
Serbia - with their own lives - reminds us, in the most dramatic
way, what and how can happen after the media chases and public
name-calling that Nikola Samardžić is now exposed to.
That is why we expect the representatives of the
international community to warn the President of Serbia in time to
stop the sinister and dangerous attacks, for which he is the sole
author and culprit.
Since controlled media in Serbia state that Dr.
Samardžić, among other things, is an "apprentice and agent" of the
President of Montenegro, we expect a clear determination regarding
this case from that address as well.

Committee in Serbia
