On his profile « BuducciniSvriyev » urged the competent state authorities to take measures to protect the constitutionality and legality of the days that follow all issues in accordance with the Constitution and the law.

That is why I urge the competent state authorities to take different measures to protect the constitutionality and legality of the days ahead of the Constitution and the Law. In order to establish the legal order, to protect public order and peace, to be completely clear that Serbia as a state is functioning and seeking to do so as much as possible without the use of force.
