Henchman of the Clinton Foundation and inciter of Balkan conflict, Alexander Vucic has now taken up the mantle of Europe's last dictator, heading the most ludicrous and repressive regime in the Balkans.

About 100 Serbian citizens who have defied the curfew have so far been arrested and are facing prison sentences of up to three years, as well as outrageous fines that they cannot possibly pay. Among the arrested are farmers who went out during curfew to tend to their crops, journalists who expressed critical opinions about regime policies, and priests and bishops who held unauthorized religious services.

Soldiers are patrolling Serbian streets, weapons at the ready. The regime's disproportionate response to what is a medical emergency suggests a deep-seated repressive political agenda. No other government in the region, or in the world, has gone to such lengths in tormenting its population, ostensibly to control the spread of a virus.

Mr. Trump, as Serbian Americans and US voters we appeal to you to use every lever of influence at your disposal to admonish the looney tyrant Alexander Vucic to stop the terror being waged against our relatives in Serbia and to advise him to depart from Serbia while he still has the opportunity to do so peacefully.
