    Even if you are right, the actions were still done by individuals that should take full consequences. I doubt the opposite side would be able to (even if they wanted) convince a non islamic person to do something like that.

        Good point, but there are no proofs Vučič encouraged anyone to do it. I belive he did though, but we shouldn’t presume things like that. We were talknig about Germany. Serbia is not even in EU.

          On 1 December, Vučić made a statement following a similar incident in which he questioned whether the driver should be held responsible and arrested. He said the man was “going his way” and added, “Those who claim that such drivers should be arrested should splash their faces with cold water.”

          If you don’t see this as encouraging then I can’t help you.
