President of the Serbia Center "Srce" party Zdravko Ponoš stated in "Impression of the Week" that the chances are that opposition nevertheless took a unique position of none, because they had continuity in the fight for election conditions, , reports Today.
He justified this attitude by saying that they are signed the document in cooperation with ProGlas that the elections will not be held until the demands of the opposition are met and that his party will remain consistent with that position.
"I can't sign something and then look into the eyes of Gojko Božović or Peca Popović or Ceca Bojković and say, what the hell, what I signed doesn't apply, it doesn't obligate me." It obliges me. I think that there is something called morality in politics. But when we talk about what we achieved and where we stumbled, I can say what we could have achieved in the fall if we had been patient and had the perseverance to fight for the electoral conditions in the way we propose. We would have much better conditions in the fall," Ponoš said.
Speaking about the non-uniform position of the members of the "Serbia against violence" coalition regarding participation in the upcoming elections, Ponoš stated that "someone who is an observer has reason to congratulate Vučić".
"I think that we, as the 'Serbia against violence' coalition, achieved an excellent result in the republican and city elections. Unfortunately, the victory was stolen from us. We continued to fight in a different format, the coalition formally no longer exists because it was created for the elections, but we kept that name and continued to cooperate in two important areas - the fight for repeating the elections and the fight for election conditions. We won the first one because we were persistent and united, and we didn't win the second one because we weren't persistent and united," Ponoš said.
He added that the chances are "almost zero" that SRCE will change its decision to boycott the Belgrade elections.
Ponoš emphasized that the government accepted the conditions of the opposition while they were unique.
"Only when they saw that we are not unique, they started to "drill" us. Some were taken to Jajince for wine, for coffee at Hill's, at the patriarch's," Ponoš said, but he did not want to say the estates of those he was referring to.
