Government to withdraw conclusion on information in state of emergency

Belgrade, 2 April 2020

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated that the government of Serbia will today, at the request of President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic, withdraw a Conclusion on informing the population about the condition and consequences of the infectious disease.

Brnabic told Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) that Serbia has done everything to ensure that our citizens are accurately and timely informed and that no information is hidden from the public, but that it will withdraw the recently adopted conclusion in order not to cast a shadow on everything the state had been working hard to do.

Although I believe this conclusion protects all citizens, medical professionals and families from fake news and unverified information, so as not to cast a shadow over everything we have painstakingly done, the government will withdraw this conclusion today before the crisis response teams’ session, she reiterated.

The Prime Minister said she believes the government will now have to spend much more time combating fake news on a daily basis, she stressed.

In that regard, she cited the fake news on a 24-hour ban on movement or on a lack of equipment in clinical centres.

We will fight more, we will need extra effort, said Brnabic, adding that this state of emergency in Serbia is indeed a state of war.
