"I am not satisfied with the turnout, although it is in the domain of local elections." The boycott obviously didn't get a huge turnout, but it did do something that kept us all from winning, which was that the turnout wasn't what it was last time when we had a good 58 percent turnout. We hoped for that, we are not satisfied with the result or the turnout. The only thing I can say that we are satisfied with is the fight that we put up in impossible conditions, I am proud of that," Radomir Lazović from the Green-Left Front in front of the coalition "I choose the fight" told Vreme.
He adds that this coalition had a network of people who were in mobile teams that reacted whenever something happened.
"We probably prevented some 12 to 13 serious things." These were mostly call centers, buying votes, Bulgarian trains. That is what is completely different about this campaign. Mostly the opposition, before, and when they discovered these situations, they failed to prevent them, now we do. I was attacked three times during this day. I don't know what to say, I was literally in a fight three times," Lazović points out.
Mobile team member attacked
During the day today, a member of the ZLF mobile team was attacked and hit in the head with a metal bar at polling station 82 in Zemun Polje.
Lazovic says that as far as he knows he is better, but asks "how do you think he feels?" He feels traumatized for sure, his family feels bad and we all feel bad together. He is in the Emergency Center and is currently giving a statement to the police."
He congratulated the citizens of Nis for being a "lighthouse of freedom" and hopes that they will succeed in forming a government in Vračar, Savski Venec and Novi Beorgad, but "it remains to be seen by the end of the evening".
What next
Lazović says that he will further see where they went wrong as a party, but also as a coalition.
"Based on that, we'll learn things differently, but it's a normal process." I must say that within this coalition we had a real partner relationship. "I really see a basis for the future," Lazović concluded.
And he added that he will call people to fight in every place and wherever possible. "We choose the broba. Not only in this election process, but always".
