"The citizens of Belgrade are not satisfied with the arrogant mayor," says Vladimir Obradović (46) in an interview with "Vreme".
This FON professor and former MP was somewhat surprisingly chosen to be the candidate of the pro-European opposition for mayor.
In an interview with our weekly, Obradović claims that he will deal with those progressive projects that were practically taken away from Belgrade through special laws.
"The problem with Belgrade on the water, in my opinion, is not a problem of aesthetics, I don't like this settlement, but some people find Belgrade on the water beautiful. Belgrade's problem lies in the absence of the rule of law in that territory," says Obradović.
"I promise that these agreements and corrupt actions will be investigated, but I am not the person from whom you will hear that he will a priori 'destroy' anything that was in accordance with the law, even if it was bad," says this candidate for mayor.
There is also some good...
Obradović adds that during the decade of SNS rule in Belgrade, some good things were done, although, he says, there was not much. He is ready to continue such projects.
"And what is not good, such as the idea of demolishing the Belgrade Fair, we will stop it, and I, as mayor, will advocate that Belgrade does not issue the necessary permits," adds Obradović.
Elections in the republic, the capital and about sixty other municipalities will be held on December 17. The civil opposition appears in one column, under the motto "Serbia against violence", and has already highlighted the leading people on the lists.
The entire conversation with Vladimir Obradović read in the printed edition of "Vremena", which is on newsstands.
