"Serbia against violence": Joint exit to the 2024 elections or the end of the coalition
Copied

Most of the parties in the "Serbia against violence" coalition are explicitly in favor of going to the elections and hope that in the end they will all go to the party together on June 2. Otherwise, it could be the end of the coalition, say "Vremena" sources.

The coalition "Serbia against violence" is meeting once again this evening, on Friday, in order to make a final decision on going to the Belgrade and the rest of the local elections on June 2 or their boycott, it was confirmed for "Vreme".

That decision, according to some sources, could in the worst case split the coalition, which in December, given the circumstances, achieved an excellent result in the parliamentary and Belgrade elections.

A similar meeting on Thursday evening ended with five members of the coalition saying they were in favor of the elections, while four were more inclined to boycott or abstain.

Čuta: We can only bring about changes together

The leader of the Ecological Uprising, Aeksandar Jovanović Ćuta, was the first to speak publicly today.

At a press conference in the Serbian Parliament, he said that tonight at 19 p.m. there is a meeting of the coalition Serbia against violence and "whatever the decision is, it must be a joint one."

The only thing we ask from all our colleagues in the coalition, and those organizations and individuals who can influence this country, is to come to an understanding and reach the goal, which is to make the country free after 12 years of agony, pointed out Ćuta, stating that Aleksandar Vučić is trying to divide the opposition.

As he pointed out, June 2 corresponds to Vučić, Brnabić after all these negotiations and deception.

Local people have been ready for a long time and should go to the polls. After this training, elections must be held, said Jovanović Ćuta.

We invite everyone to prepare for the campaign, this is an invitation to all organizations, Move-change, individuals to 2 . June, let's continue to fight because we have no other choice, pointed out Ćuta.

He also invited Miloš Jovanović to join the joint decision, which must be going out into the fields.

"Only together we can bring about changes," he stressed.

He hopes that the coalition will stay together

As we learn, today all parties should first call their party bodies to a meeting, so that they can then have a final position at the coalition meeting.

"We are definitely going to the elections," several sources from parties that are against the boycott tell us. "But the hope is that the whole coalition will still go together."

According to reports, the Green-Left Front, the People's Movement of Serbia and the Movement of Free Citizens have decided to run for office.

Several politicians who are in favor of going to the elections say that it would be disastrous if the opposition did not take advantage of the fact that the government was forced to fulfill the third demand - the merging of the Belgrade and the rest of the local elections on June 2.

They are aware, of course, that the election conditions will be far from democratic standards this time, but they are also convinced that a boycott would not bring anything, that it would be handing over the local government without a fight to the coalition led by Aleksandar Vučić.

They believe that the opportunity must be used to win power in Belgrade and in as many municipalities as possible, and to make it a stronghold for further political struggle.

The authorities accepted "all" demands

Admittedly, the opposition rather encouraged all those elections to be postponed until autumn.

Previously, the government accepted the first two demands - fairer representation on RTS and control of the voter list, but it has not yet been specified how this will be achieved.

The SNS, whose Belgrade list also includes SPS, Zavetnici, Radikali and many others, started campaigning a long time ago.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
