President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic 
<https://www.telegraf.rs/teme/aleksandar-vucic>  says that the worst situation 
is still in Cuprija when it comes to the coronavirus epidemic, but that the 
entire district of Pomoravlje is not far behind. He also spoke about the 
details of his phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

He said that a curfew would be imposed from Friday at 5 pm until Tuesday at 5 
am.


New measure for pensioners


"We are looking for a way to allow them to come out at least three times a 
week, that is, to set aside 8 hours within the curfew because they must not be 
in contact with others. And it should not be an hour or two, but a time of 8 or 
6 hours within which they will be able to walk half an hour and a maximum of 
300 meters from their place of residence," he said.

"As far as pensioners are concerned, of course they are losing patience after a 
month in their apartments and houses. But we did it to save their lives," said 
Vucic, adding that he is happy that the majority of pensioners understand this 
measure.


The Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) request


The Serbian president said he spoke with the patriarch on Saturday and that 
they had a different conversation.

"The only thing I can guarantee you is that I will try to talk to the patriarch 
tomorrow again, but don't have any doubt that I will support the doctors and 
life. But we have no intention of arresting bishops and the clergy," said Vucic.

"Our enemy is the virus, not the one who is trying to fight the virus," Vucic 
said. He also said that when it comes to the Gerontological Center in Nis, the 
director is not the only culprit, but also the children of the persons who live 
there.

"I ask people to understand this and to help us on this issue. To understand 
this and to deal with it, to try to save lives," said the president of Serbia.


Conversation with Xi Jinping


The president of Serbia said spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the 
first time on the phone.

"I asked him to let us to buy more medical devices, not because we need it, but 
because I want us to feel safe. I received assurances from the Chinese 
president that he would consider my request. Even if things got worse, which I 
don't think they will, we must have everything. Evn with all my concern, you 
could see the part that is optimistic," said Vucic.


Hotspots


"When you go toward Aleksinac, Nis and Leskovac, that's the situation. And, the 
whole Rasina District is our biggest hotspot. Now Pozarevac is also becoming a 
big problem because of the people who came from Italy. The south, southeast and 
east of Serbia are becoming a real hotspot. It's not good to have one infected 
person anywhere, but things are under control," said Vucic, adding that 
Belgrade is near the average, which means that the measures have produced 
results, but, he says, not sufficiently.
