The statement of President Aleksandar Vučić that the SNS in Belgrade has both a legal and a legitimate majority caused a reaction from the opposition.
Borko Stefanović, deputy president of the Freedom and Justice Party, explained to, as he said, "the best law student in history" that the party of which he is a member has "no majority, not even a legal one, and even less a legitimate one."
"You did not legally acquire mandates because you stole the elections." Due to the importation of phantom voters, payments for votes and voter blackmail, as well as due to the unprecedented hijacking of the media in Serbia, your councilors do not have mandates, but only the product of the hijacking of the people's will. You cannot have a legitimate government because, in addition to stealing the elections, you are trying to buy councilors who presented themselves as the opposition, and that's how you steal the majority in the city assembly," wrote Borko Stefanović.
The SNS city committee immediately replied that his statement was meaningless and that it was only interesting to "his boss, Dragan Đilas." Starting from themselves, because they solved everything with money, to the detriment of the citizens, they think that someone will do it again today, and they are not even aware that the people in SNS care about a better tomorrow for Belgrade, and not about combinations and abuse of position, like Đilas."
They also said that the SNS victory was convincing and reflected the will of the citizens.
Dobrica Veselinović, member of the Green-Left Front in the Belgrade City Assembly, believes that "the statement by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, that the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) has a majority in the Belgrade Assembly is just buying time, because it is clear to everyone that the elections were stolen and do not reflect the will of the citizens." ."
"We believe that this format of the Belgrade City Assembly is illegitimate and the opposition will be united on Monday with the aim of preventing such a city assembly from being constituted," said Veselinović.
Pavle Grbović, the president of the Movement of Free Citizens, believes that "the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) cannot get 56 votes of councilors in the Belgrade Assembly, and any attempt to create a majority with devious people would be a direct deception of the citizens and a violation of their electoral will," said Grbović.
