Vladimir Obradović is the first FON professor who spoke three years ago about the plagiarized doctorate of Finance Minister Sinisa Malog, as well as the role of this higher education institution in the whole affair. As the portal "Vremena" learns, he will be a candidate for the mayor of Belgrade of the opposition list Serbia against violence
Leaders of the opposition told the "Vremena" portal that their cooperation was established through the "Serbia against violence" protests and that they are ready to help the current government be replaced as quickly as possible. Kosovo is treated as a supra-party issue
Despite the message of the mayor of Belgrade Aleksandar Šapić that he will not support the Pride Parade in any way, not even by displaying the LGBT flag on the building of the Belgrade City Assembly, councilors of the Green-Left Front (ZLF) waved the rainbow flag
Changes start from the bottom. SNS also knows this, and that is why it fights so hard for every municipality, even the smallest one. Regular local elections in the spring of next year are very important. Regardless of whether there will be extraordinary Belgrade and republican elections, the opposition must prepare seriously and on time for communal elections, because municipal presidents can do a lot
One of the leaders of Ne davimo Beograd Dobrica Veselinović said that it is now important to "push" the civil protests to the end, and that "Belgrade must be a leader in this fight to say no to these small arms and legs" and to start changing this power
"If the Mothers of Srebrenica went to Jasenovac, then we are also obliged to be in Srebrenica because of them"
"Belgrade needs extraordinary elections, but above all it is necessary to respond to the demands of the citizens and the opposition, which were presented at the protests," the head of the councilor group Moramo Dobrica Veselinović told the "Vremena" portal.
The city planner was recalled and then voted out, all without discussion, all the proposals of the opposition were rejected, including free HPV vaccines and the preparedness of facilities for natural disasters, Šapić is satisfied with the terms of the termination of the contract with Kenkart, and says that the metro route will not be changed
Some are in favor of imposing sanctions on Russia, others are against it, and others need a little more time to think. As with many other things, the opposition is not only divided on the issue of relations with Moscow after the Russian aggression on Ukraine, but also on the extent to which Serbia should be bound to the European Union.
"All these years, we were exposed to threats, attacks, and lawsuits every day." None of that has and will not scare us, we are persistent in the fight to make Belgrade a good city for everyone"
As the elections get closer, the number of phantom voters increases, the opposition claims. Calls to voters that neighbors have never heard of are allegedly coming to addresses all over Serbia. Because of this "alarming situation", the Moramo coalition is calling the opposition parties to an urgent meeting on Tuesday. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić comments on the whole situation with "so what"
In the elections for councilors of the Belgrade City Assembly, which will be held on April 3, 1.600.214 citizens have the right to vote, and 12 lists were offered on the ballot. The opposition party has the best chance of victory in Belgrade
If there is a change of government in the capital of Serbia, it would be the biggest success of the opposition since 2012 and the first step towards creating the conditions for SNS and its leader to be removed from power in Serbia.
"We will undertake to cede the position of the future mayor of Belgrade or prime minister to the opposition list that will have the best result." In accordance with that - yes, we will cooperate with those who did not play an active role in the past period in the impoverishment of the state and in the government, with other colleagues in the opposition, in order to overthrow the progressive regime in Belgrade. It is our priority"
Hope gained a political articulation. It's not just that the people got sick of the regime: they got sick of it a long time ago. This time, Vučić and his gloom-obsessed team are not leading the charge, although, of course, they don't stop talking, but the ball is in the opposition's feet. Hence the hope. And when the hope fades, and still takes on some recognizable form in reality, it is very difficult to extinguish it
Precisely because of everything that separates them, they have a great chance to gather together a sufficient number of votes to change the government in Belgrade, because in the Belgrade elections they stand for the same thing: to stop the deterioration of the city and to fix what can be fixed.
In the Belgrade elections, he will run in the race for mayor in front of the green-left coalition Moramo. He is a political scientist by profession, an environmentalist by conviction, and an urbanist by commitment. He calls himself "dobrinačelak" on Twitter. He became known to the public when, in April 2015, Ne da(vi)mo Belgrade organized protests in favor of Belgrade on the water under the slogan "Let's show them the duck". A large yellow styrofoam duck was a symbol of protest
Dobrica Veselinović and Vladeta Janković are very different, but both of them "dare to look you in the eye", instill confidence in the citizens of Belgrade that they could quickly and easily agree on a post-election coalition after the elections, and offer voters the opportunity to choose from conviction. On the presidential stage, the opposition does not seem at all coordinated, but Zdravko Ponoš could move people. Contrary to previous expectations, the elections on April 3 could be very interesting
The Ne davimo Belgrade movement started a campaign in which it invites citizens to go to the referendum on January 16 and round up NE. Opinions on this matter differ even within the opposition
It can be said that the history of multi-party Serbia is also the history of street protests, and that in almost all times of dramatic democratic deficit, there was a not so small number of citizens who were ready to go out into the streets to fight for political rights and protest against the abuse of power.
The opposition leaders realized that the Rio Tinto issue could create the desired referendum atmosphere for Aleksandar Vučić to remain in power, but they do not agree on the tactics of how to use the awakened environmental awareness of the citizens. It could be said that Vučić's team committed such an obvious foul in the penalty area that the referee could not ignore it. The only question is who will take the penalty and how, and whether the goalkeeper is afraid of the penalty
"As in the case of 'Savamala', citizens also called the police in Šabac, but the police hung up on them and did not respond"
