The Belgrade committee of the Zajedno party collectively resigned from the party membership, because the party leadership will not participate in the elections. "Are they cheating? They cheat. Is he stealing? They are stealing. Are they beating? And what are we doing? Do we want to let them go? No, but that's exactly why - we have to fight," says Miketić for "Vreme"

The Belgrade committee of the party Zajedno today on Saturday made a decision on collective withdrawal from the membership of the party, due to the fact that the party leadership did not accept the will of the majority of members of the city committee to participates in the Belgrade elections on June 2.
The city committee, which gathers local committees, members and activists of the party from the territory of all Belgrade municipalities, will immediately start preparations for going to the elections in cooperation with partners from the coalition Serbia against violence who announced going to the elections, according to the announcement.
 We are in contact with the parties that have announced their participation in the elections. In the coming days, we will discuss all aspects of the fight, cleaning the voter list, control, as well as the candidate who can oppose Vučić and Šapić in Belgrade. I believe in victory, because I believe in fighting. "Changes start from Belgrade", said after the meeting the President of the City Board Đorđe Miketić.
Regarding the decision of the Zajedno party to exclude Đorđe Miketić from the party after he announced that the city committee of that party will participate in the Belgrade elections, Miketić tells "Vreme" that the regime is stealing time, while on the other hand GSP wheels are killing people on the street.
"That's why the basic question is how to stop it Belgrade's metastasis on the water, demolition of the Fair, the Sava bridge, but also to organize traffic as soon as possible by investing in BG voz truly free textbooks, we curb corruption.. For us, this means that we always go to fight. Are they cheating? They cheat. Is he stealing? They are stealing. Are they beating? And what are we doing? Do we want to let them go? No, but that's exactly why - we have to fight," says Miketić for "Vreme".
He adds that the city committee was created through a pre-election in which several thousand men and women of Belgrade participated, and we are proud of the level of participation we cultivate in the decision-making process.
"That's how we made the decision about the elections, which we conducted this week among our membership, and the vast majority of them are in favor of going to the elections but also fighting on the ground, in every park, kindergarten or neighborhood," says Miketić.
Party Zajedno: Good luck to Mr. Miketić in the elections

The Zajedno party late last night at the party bodies made a decision to exclude Đorđe Miketić from the party after his decision that the party's city committee will participate in the Belgrade elections.

"The statement of Đorđe Miketić that the initiative city committee Zajedno will participate in the Belgrade elections is not in accordance with the party's decision. At a wider meeting of the party's leadership, a decision on the boycott was made, which was also made public," he says Today Biljana Stojković, co-president of the Zajedno party.

He adds that Zajedno will wish Mr. Miketić the best of luck in the elections.

"But that activity will not be in front of our party, since we voted late last night to exclude him from our membership," says Stojković.

The town board did not want to give up the fight

The city committee of the Zajedno party announced that it will take part in the Belgrade elections, if there is no unified position in the coalition Serbia against violence. Previously, this party announced that it will not participate in the elections on June 2 because they believe that the minimum level of conditions for those elections to be free and fair has not been provided.

"On April 13, the city committee of the Zajedno party made a decision that it will insist on a unified position of the opposition, because this is the most important precondition for the liberation of the city of Belgrade from the devastating government of the SNS.

Also, it was decided that if there is no unified position within the opposition, the city committee Zajedno will go to the city and municipal elections in Belgrade, because it does not want to give up any fight, neither on the field, nor in the institutions," the announcement states.

"We launched an action of civic cleansing of the voter list, because we never expected that the regime would give us anything on a plate."

Our slogan is that we don't wait, we clean, everything according to the list", the city board of the Zajedno party was also told.

"We still stand by the last position of the coalition "Serbia against violence" that the constitutional law and postponing all local elections to the end of the year is the best possible solution, because that way there will be enough time to edit the voter list and adopt the important recommendations of the OIDHR that will improve the electoral process, but also democracy in Serbia.

Together we decided to boycott.

From the beginning, the Zajedno party most strongly advocated for the unity of the opposition and the formation of the united list of "Serbia against violence", even giving up their parliamentary mandates in order to make the coalition easier to form, but if the necessary unity is not achieved now, the city committee decided that on this Zajedno come out of the elections because the fight is not given up", it is written in the press release.

Previously, the Zajedno party announced that it stands by the agreed decision of the coalition of the SPN, the coalition of NADA and Proglasa, signed on March 9, that it is necessary to fulfill the minimum conditions in order to participate in the elections and the last initiative of these entities, that in accordance with the proposed Constitutional by law, all local elections should be held in the fall, so that ODIHR's recommendations could be adopted and implemented.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
