Quote (original Serbian)

Pitanje za naprednjake koji su, kao i ja, bili ispred Niške tvrđave: kako se osećate dok slušate Acu kako laže?🤔 #niš #srbija #sns #ćaci

Translation

A question for SNS supporters who, like me, were in front of Niš Fortress: how do you feel listening to Aca [Vučić] lie? 🤔 #niš #srbija #sns #ćaci

What is shown

The author of S-02 records their phone screen while playing the original fire video in the gallery (iPhone Photos app). The gallery header shows “Ponedeljak [Monday] · 19:26” — the day and time the original was recorded. In the frame: large flames along the rampart, the lamp post with a ring, a flag, the crowd (position B, the Fortress Bridge). An inset shows a clip of the President from the “Kolegijum” show (TV Informer). The phone’s status bar shows 22:20 — when the screen recording was made.

Note: The earliest known recording-time data point. For legal use, the original file should be requested from the author (phone and iCloud metadata).

Speaker
Aleksandar Vučić, President of the Republic

Said live on TV Informer (“Kolegijum” show) on the evening of 7 Oct 2026, before 23:51. The clip was posted by Niš TV. According to media transcripts, the speaker claims the photo of the fire is “artificial intelligence” while admitting that flares were lit.

„Mene zovu ovi ljudi, kažu: ’Ajde, molim te, demantuj da gori tvrđava’. Ajde, bre, kažem, ćuti, bre, budalo, ne pričaj gluposti. […] Kaže: ’Evo ti fotografija’. Ja kažem: ’Pa to ti je veštačka inteligencija’“ (N1) · „Ja ću sutra ili prekosutra da zapalim svoje auto na slici i videćete kako gori moj auto“ · „Jesu palili baklje. Ali to nije požar“ (Alo) / „Oni jesu palili baklje na Tvrđavi, ali kakve to veze ima sa požarima?“ (Južne vesti)
“These people call me and say: ‘Come on, please deny that the fortress is burning.’ Come on, I say, shut up, you fool, don’t talk nonsense. […] He says: ‘Here’s a photo.’ I say: ‘Well, that’s artificial intelligence’” (N1) · “Tomorrow or the day after I’ll set my own car on fire in a picture and you’ll see my car burning” · “They did light flares. But that is not a fire” (Alo) / “They did light flares on the Fortress, but what does that have to do with fires?” (Južne vesti)
