Pressured by the Austrian government which asked from Serbia to buy everything from Austrian companies, from salt to cannons, he replied to Austrian government that he personally would do that, but that the assembly is against it and in democratic countries that's what counts.
Presat de guvernul austriac care cerea Serbiei să cumpere aproape orice produs de la companiile austriece, de la sare la tunuri, el a răspuns guvernului austriac că el personal ar face asta, dar că adunarea se opune, iar asta este ceea ce contează în țările democratice.
