Minister of Defense of Serbia resigned because of machismo

During a recent briefing by Defense Minister Bratislava Hasech, several media officers, including journalist Zlatia Labovich, dropped to their knees, so as not to block the footage of videographers. Journalists during the briefing are often bent or down on their knees to be able to write down questions and answers to the recorder and do not interfere with the operators of television and photographers.

The Serbian Ministry of Defense commented on Zlatia Labovic's gesture: I like journalists who are ready to kneel so easily. The next day, Serbian Prime Minister Alexander Vučić said: ... when I heard what happened, I was both surprised and shocked. This should not happen to anyone ... ".

Vučić noted that Gasic is one of his most devoted friends and the vice-president of the Serbian Progressive Party, but the apology brought by Hashich to the journalist is not enough, and he can no longer remain Minister of Defense. "We must protect all women in Serbia. This was a bad message for all women, "the prime minister stressed. Vučić apologized on behalf of the government to the journalist and to all the women of the country.

Later, at a press conference, Gasic also apologized and promised to fight in Serbia with cruelty and violence against women.
