"When you look at the attack, you see that it is not caused by personal animosity but ... targets the republic and particularly its unchangeable principles of democracy and secularism," the president said, pledging that all institutions "will forever defend the principles of the republic".
«Kada pogledate taj napad vidite da nije uzrokovan ličnim animozitetom nego ... je usmeren na republiku, a posebno na nepromenljive principe demokratije i sekularizma», rekao je predsednik obećavajući da će sve institucije «zauvek braniti principe republike».
