Vučić announces pardon for girl who hit a female student with a car in Belgrade

(Patria) - Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced today that he will grant immunity from further prosecution to a 25-year-old girl suspected of attempted murder after she ran over a female student with her car in January during a traffic blockade in New Belgrade.

Vučić said in a telephone call-in to Informer TV that he would pardon the girl if she and her family agree to it.

- She did nothing to deserve this, and for me it is terrible that as a president who, until a few weeks ago, had not issued a single pardon in nine years, I now have to correct the injustice caused by prosecutors and courts. I will continue to do this, I will have to protect the weak, the persecuted, and the victims of their daily attacks - Vučić stated.

He assesses that "certain" holders of judicial functions in Serbia "have introduced injustice and lawlessness as the highest principles."
