Key rally messages: Vucic lays out plans before 207,000 people

(KLJUČNE PORUKE SA ISTORIJSKOG SKUPA! Vučić pred 207.000 ljudi obelodanio planove za budućnost: Srbija ulazi u novu eru razvoja i velikih promena (FOTO))

Kurir publishes the pro-government framing of the rally and writes that Vucic spoke before 207,000 people. The article calls the gathering "historic," emphasizes the "Srbija jedna porodica" slogan, and relays Vucic's messages about future policy, development, and change. Unlike N1 and Danas, it does not discuss the Public Assembly Archive estimate, but it shows the initial attendance framing that was later disputed.
