The president of the Dveri movement, Boško Obradović, said that he is resigning from the position of party leader tomorrow. Obradović is the first leader of a party who specifically said after these elections that he would resign due to poor election results.
He also pointed out that he is not withdrawing from politics and believes that what Dveri represents is the best for Serbia, and that he will remain in that movement.
"Tomorrow, I will hold a media conference at the headquarters of the Serbian movement Dveri, where I will analyze our election results and take responsibility. This means that I will resign as president of Dveri, because you cannot have a bad election result and remain at the head of a political organization. It is elementary ethics, it is morality in politics. Given that Dveri and I have been advocating for morality from the beginning, it's time to show it by our own example," said Boško Obradović for N1.
He said that after 12 years of politics, he was attacked and insulted by the regime and other media, and that he did not spend even a second in power.
"The fraudsters won in Serbia." "Serbia is a country that wants fraudsters," he said.
On election night, after the preliminary results were announced, Socialist leader Ivica Dačić said that the SPS needed a new leader, but he did not say decisively that he would step down from the party leadership.
People's Party official Sanda Rašković Ivić announced that she will retire from politics due to her poor results.
And Ivana Parlić, vice-president of the People's Party, announced on her Instagram account that she is retiring from politics, after her party failed to pass the census in the December elections.
As "Vreme" wrote, in organized democratic societies, the term of life of a politician is linked to success or failure, politicians withdraw from politics, or step down from power, if they are linked to some kind of affair, due to taking responsibility, for moral reasons. None of the above is characteristic of Serbian politicians.
