0:08.2 | color revolution that took place in Serbia, failed, failed attempt at a color revolution that took place in Serbia in Belgrade, |
0:27.6 | organized by the umbrella party Serbs against violence, who are pro-EU and, yeah, a cobbled together group of five or six individual parties put together under |
0:41.9 | this umbrella name, Serbs against violence. And they tried to pressure the Vouchic government |
0:51.4 | into having a do-over of the election specifically in Belgrade. |
0:56.6 | So what are your thoughts on what took place in Belgrade? |
1:01.3 | And we'll discuss it further. |
1:04.1 | First of all, I mean, can I just say that I have absolutely no reason to doubt the results of the elections that we've just had in Serbia. I haven't |
