The student movement is crucial in the fight against the regime, ZLF deputy Radomir Lazović told Vreme. But even that movement cannot win alone, he adds, and that is why he wishes for a unified list or at least an agreement. So far, nothing has come of it
Serbia is in the phase of political "mortification" - protests have died, but they have not disappeared, the government is clamping down wherever it can and postponing the elections as long as it can. At that stage, the opposition bazaar came back with a smile.
That's exactly what Vučić wants, says the head of the parliamentary group of the Green-Left Front (ZLF) Radomir Lazovic.
"They can't win alone"
During the discussion for the new issue of "Vremena" (on newsstands from Thursday, March 12), Lazović leaves room for cooperation with the student movement, perhaps even a single list, even though students turned it off.
"The victory over the criminal regime does not concern only one actor, whoever he is, but the entire anti-regime front and all citizens of Serbia, and the biggest actor has the biggest responsibility," says Lazović.
"We support the political articulation of the student movement - it is their right to choose a direction. That direction goes further to the right than we would like, but it is their choice. But we believe that they cannot win on their own, just as neither we nor anyone else can. That is why we call for coordination, and not to interfere with them," he adds.
Why is there no "official" communication?
As he adds, the "confusion" surrounding the creation and surrender of the opposition election the list for the upcoming local elections shows that stronger cooperation is needed. He says the regime sows "lies" every day in order to create a gap between the opponents.
"The first step is the successful isolation of students from the parties. We have a constellation of public figures with failed political careers who attack the opposition and thus build 'legitimacy' to get closer to the student movement," says Lazović.
For now, there is only informal communication with the student movement, through close people, says Lazović. When asked why they don't try officially, he says that he doesn't know how "official communication starts in this case."
"I wouldn't be concerned with which phone number to call or which address to send an official e-mail to," adds Lazović.

What happened to Air Serbia flight JU 134 to Moscow, on which were Aleksandar Vulin, Dušan Bajatović and Nenad Popović? Why did the plane take off, return to Belgrade after several hours, and then take off again for Moscow? And did the three "Russian people" in Serbia end up going to Russia?
"He swore at my children, and now he swears at me and my dead child," said Milovan Milivojević after the news that Tomo Stojić was pardoned
The High Court in Belgrade ordered custody for up to 30 days to the responsible person of "Alta banka" Davor Matsuri, who is suspected of having taken out more than 45 billion dinars from the vault of that bank, with the help of two other arrested persons.
The president of the Serbia Center (SRCE) party, Zdravko Ponoš, resigned from that position, and the presidency of this party accepted
Srbijagas director Dušan Bajatović was also on the Air Serbia plane that left for Moscow on Tuesday and was returned to Belgrade. He says he doesn't know why Aleksandar Vulin and Nenad Popović went, and he went to Russia because of problems with Alta Bank and gas
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
Davor Matura's ALTA empire is the transplanted heart of the corrupt regime of Aleksandar Vučić, who was defeated in the October 25 elections. From ALTA Bank, roads lead directly to the top of the progressive government.
Things are unfolding at an astonishing speed, as astonishing as the speed with which Vucic conceded a convincing defeat. Impatience is understandable, but misplaced
