Đorđe Miketić, the former president of the Belgrade committee of the Zajedno party, told Danas on Saturday that there is a large group of people from that committee who are interested in creating a new movement or some other organization, and that he expects them to come before the public with an idea in September or October. .
Miketić, who claimed in April that the Belgrade board had collectively withdrawn from Together because of the party's decision not to take part in the June local elections, while the party claimed to have excluded Miketić from its membership, it now states for the Beta agency that it believes that Belgrade needs, first of all, an activist-political movement.
"I am an eternal activist. That's how I joined the party, but I've always been a city activist. Institutions, as we see, do not work and I think that field battles and battles directly with people will take place more and more. "We see a space for our action somewhere," he said.
According to him, there are some people who are councilors, as well as some who are deputies.
"I think that we will come out with something in September or October, but for now as always - first city activism with people, and for the political struggle I think that policies and political solutions are first of all necessary," said Miketić.
He added that they don't want to create a movement that will be "just another one of", but want to create something that is focused on solutions.
Asked if that movement will have anything to do with the initiative "The bridge remains", of which Miketić is a part and which yesterday organized the commemoration of 40 years since the first tram crossed the Old Sava bridge, the demolition of which they oppose, he said that there are people in that initiative who will be part of the new organization.
"This ('The Bridge Remains') is a wider group of people, there are people who are already in some organizations, but there is also a good part of people who will join the new organization," he added.
"If they demolish the bridge, nothing prevents them from expanding Belgrade on the water to the left side of the Sava," stated Miketić.
Initiative "The bridge remains" is, according to him, an initiative that fights for the preservation of the Old Sava Bridge, but "first of all against the expansion of Belgrade on the water."
