Actress Svetlana Ceca Bojković she assessed that the atmosphere in Serbia a few days before the elections was very bad, but that she expected pressure and intimidation of citizens. However, she expressed optimism about the outlook election outcome and predicted a high turnout in the upcoming extraordinary parliamentary elections.
Speaking for N1 on searches of facilities used by students, Bojković assessed that the government is trying to influence citizens through intimidation, but that such an approach can cause the opposite effect.
"They simply have nothing else to do but intimidate people. I just don't know how aware they are that the more you intimidate and pressure people, the more they bounce back," said Bojković.
She also criticized the statement of the recent president of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić that pensioners should not listen to their grandchildren.
"It's not enough that he divided the people, he divided the family," said Bojković.
Bojkovic said that she believes that the energy of the citizens will influence the outcome of the election. At the same time, she emphasized that she is not talking about weapons or violent conflicts, but about the strength of the social mood, which, in her opinion, goes beyond ordinary anger and rage.
She also assessed that a possible defeat in one election cycle would not mean a final failure, comparing the election process to a battle whose outcome is not determined by the entire war.
Speaking about the voting of Serbian citizens abroad, Bojković pointed out the problems with exercising the right to vote. The ProGlas initiative called on citizens living abroad, who are prevented from voting there due to the decisions of state authorities, to, if they are able, come to Serbia and vote.
Bojković stated that because of this, many families will have to travel to other cities, which represents an additional cost, but she assessed that such an effort is important for the future of the country.
"There remains that negative impression of the state that did not help to realize the legal rights of our citizens who live and work abroad," concluded Bojković.
