Later in the day, Vucevic said that as a new leader of the party he would continue his predecessor's course, prioritizing the protection of Serbians and their values.
"Our politics will not change, we will remain the party that is the engine of our country's development; the party that protects and observes traditional values of the Serbian people and all citizens of Serbia; the party that will politically support keeping
