Serbian President Alexander Vučič accused the Rockefeller Foundation of allocating funds for anti-government protests by the citizens of his country. He believes that American philanthropists have sponsored speeches by Serbian environmental activists with the aim of changing the government in the country.
Previously, Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic accused foreign funds and organizations of actively supporting the protests of various environmental associations. Among others, the Rockefeller Foundation, USAID and the Open Society Foundations, as well as British and German organizations, were mentioned. It was this cooperation that provoked the most active protests in the country.
