The title is a quote from Sergej Trifunović's statement about today's protests. What do Svetlana Ceca Bojković, Gorica Popović, Dragan Velikić and Zoran Hamović say about the March 15 protest?
"For years, our position has been that we don't want Milosevic. Now our position is that we don't want Vučić. But I don't know what we want. And that is the essence. If there was an agenda of what we want and a consensus around that agenda, then people would have the will and energy to fight for it, even the disappointed ones you mentioned. I'm sure of that. Here, Rio Tinto and Jadar have moved us to a great extent, because it is a concrete thing, it is a fight for water, land and life. I believe that we will not get tired of that fight or give up. Other than that, I don't see anything that motivates us unifying. Sandwiches and two thousand for a gentleman is the most that is offered in Serbia, at this moment, concretely"
