The coalition "Serbia against violence" will almost certainly repeated Belgrade elections to go in the same format - the only dilemma is whether it will be expanded further.
Pavle Grbović, the head of the Movement of Free Citizens, told Vreme that, adding that the issue of candidates for mayor and councilors may be reopened.
What would a coalition with the New DSS bring?
The President of the Party of Freedom and Justice, Dragan Đilas, has already called for the formation of an "alliance of all who are for change", adding that along with "Serbia against violence" there is also the NADA coalition and other parties "which we are all sure are in opposition to this regime". as well as public figures.
To that, Grbović says that there have been no concrete discussions yet, but that it is also worth looking at public opinion surveys in order to assess whether the association brings or takes away votes.
"Here, I am primarily thinking of a potential coalition with the New DSS." The question is whether there would be a synergistic effect or if it would drive away some civic-oriented and some nationally-oriented voters with options that would not pass the census," says Grbović.
Grbović adds, we should think about the fact that there will be voters disappointed by the lack of seriousness of the "MI - Voice of the People" movement, as well as socialists who do not want to vote for the SPS when it is on the SNS list. "It remains to be seen who can best address those voters."
No candidate question has been asked yet
When asked by "Vremen" whether the pro-European opposition is considering going to the elections with another candidate for mayor or the holders of the list, Grbović says that this has not been discussed and that it depends on how large a coalition comes to the elections.
"Maybe everything will be the same, but it doesn't have to be." If a wider coalition is formed, of course we have to talk again about who is on the list and who are the candidates," says the PSG leader.
As he says, boycott is not considered.
"Our goal is to fight to participate in the elections, not not to participate." Let's continue the months-long pressure that is strong and cannot be ignored, because of which the government repeats the elections, which is an indirect recognition of election theft."
"I believe that we can come to an improvement so that the boycott is not even a topic." "We need the mobilization of all democratic capacities and voters, and not to introduce the dilemma of what if we fail in some fight," concludes Grbović.
