Everyone expects a brave fight from the former Chief of General Staff in conditions that are not at all in his favor. The more parties that stand behind him, the greater the chance that he will enter the second round of the presidential elections
The Assembly of Free Serbia assessed on Monday that Zdravko Ponoš "an honorable and honest man and a good candidate for the presidency", but also expressed regret that that candidate was not supported by the united democratic opposition, that is, that there is no unified agreement on one presidential candidate.
"The Assembly of Free Serbia will do everything in its power to bring closer the views of the democratic options so that the candidate of the democratic opposition can enter the second round," the announcement reads.
It is particularly important that during the elections citizens are encouraged not only to go to the polls, but also to participate in the election control process, "because, by all accounts, there will be a large number of irregularities in these elections as well, which should be prevented with an active approach." .
The Assembly of Free Serbia believes that "a large turnout of citizens to the elections would mark the end of the criminal progressive government, which destroyed the state, society and institutions", and that its members will actively participate in the election process "in the hope that these elections will mark the end of Vučić's rule". .
After the initial disagreements, all members of the coalition gathered around the Freedom and Justice Party, the People's Party and the Democratic Party stood behind Zdravko Ponoš as their presidential candidate.
One of the leaders of the movement Ne davimo Beograd Radomir Lazović said that the green-left coalition Moramo is open to discussions about supporting the candidacy of Zdravko Ponoš.
Parliamentary, presidential and Belgrade elections will be held on April 3, 2022. In Belgrade, the opposition parties have a real chance to change the government. SNS President Aleksandar Vučić is considered the undisputed favorite to win the new presidential mandate, although he has not yet announced his candidacy.
