The opposition generally has a lot of confidence in the students, but they also have a different view of how they should behave in the next parliamentary elections elections in Serbia.
That's right Vukašin Milićević, a member of the Presidency of the Democratic Party and a theologian who was expelled from the Orthodox Theological Faculty in Belgrade, for "Vreme", which is published on October 2, defended the position of the DS - that it will unreservedly support the students and will not make its own list.
"I have great confidence in the students. It is woven into my personal attitude, which the students have already known for months, but also the attitude of the Democratic Party. I am not the only one who knows the students and has worked with them," says Milićević. "The students also gained my political trust because I witnessed the values they stand for. So I had no dilemma whether we should support them."
When asked if he believed that other opposition parties would support them in this decision, he said that he was convinced that "the best way to fight against the government is to create a unified civil court, and students are the only ones who can lead it at the moment."
"I hope that the rest of the opposition will follow our path because I believe that this is the only responsible political action at this time. Those who do not do so risk that, after the student victory, they will be left without a political perspective."
"Coordination"
Đorđe Pavićević, MP of ZLF and professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, in the author's text in the next issue of "Vremena" makes a proposal about "coordination" with students.
"The apparently harmless and undemanding word coordination has awakened many spirits," writes Pavićević about the ZLF's proposal to establish coordination to create a united front against the regime between currently unrelated and autonomous actors, i.e. all those who are against the regime.
Pavićević writes that in theory the request for coordination "is treated as rather mild and does not imply deeper connection and cooperation, building formal coalitions or stronger alliances", but that in practice it can be different.
"The key question is not whether it exists, at least for a political partactors, a common goal. At least there are two: the first is the removal of the stone from the door of ruby the freakish regime in the elections, and the second is the establishment of at least minimal assumptions for the functioning of institutions, primarily those on which fair and free elections depend, but also those related to the normalization of life in Serbia," adds the FPN professor.
He also says that only the actor who can win the elections alone does not have to coordinate with others.
