After 17 forums held in the same number of cities across Serbia, which were visited by 20.000 citizens, the ProGlas initiative, which was signed by more than 180.000 citizens, will hold a large gathering at Nikola Pašić Square in Belgrade tonight starting at 20:XNUMX p.m.
The meeting, which is being held under the slogan "Belgrade, return to itself", will be attended by all 14 initiators of the initiative, and special guests Dejan Bodiroga and Nikola Kojo will also be there.
Zoran Kesić, one of the authors and presenters of the show "24 Minutes", tells "Vreme" that there are two reasons why he decided to moderate this meeting tonight.
"First, it's an honor for me to be in the same place with the people who are the founders of ProGlas, whether it's the stage, walks, cafe, classroom... The second reason is that I myself try to contribute to the changes that are necessary for this through the show and my personal involvement city and this country. And that with changes not only in the political sense, but in the essential sense, so that the citizens are reminded that they are the owners of this city and this country and that the future of our children depends on their will," says Kesić.
For him, who himself signed this initiative, ProGlas is a call to citizens to remind themselves that they are the creators of social circumstances and the shaping of the future.
"It is a reminder that they should not neglect their voice, that there is one moment in life that has its own name and surname, and that moment is called - elections." ProGlas does not invite people to vote for a certain political option, but invites them to vote. I sometimes jokingly, but also in truth, say that ProGlas can also encourage anemic voters of the ruling parties to vote. The call is - vote, don't give up your right to decide. That's ProGlas."
Changes are good for everyone.
As one of the successes of ProGlas, Kesić states that he succeeded, and notes that it is quite unusual, to annoy the ruling party and the media close to them.
"Svetlana Ceca Bojković said it very interestingly in our show. Why do the authorities and those media mind that ProGlas and the people who signed ProGlas are calling for a vote? They do not call for voting for the opposition, they only call for voting. We have a situation in which the authorities are not responsible for voting, in which the authorities are responsible for citizens to stay in their homes. I think that ProGlas managed to move some people and remind them that everything depends on them, and I think that the above-politicism of ProGlas is something that is very significant".
Because, he says, ProGlas will remain as a body that is a corrective factor of any future government, and that his show also has that task and that they have been fighting for ten years to change the government, so that their consistency in criticizing the most powerful can certificates on those who will next occupy the highest state positions.
"Changes are good for everyone," says Kesić.
Just go out and vote.
As for the expectations of the elections on December 17, for him they are in line with the mission of ProGlas, which is to get as many people as possible to the polls.
"I want to see a large percentage of those who went to the polls, to give their vote to those whose conscience and feeling dictate that they should give it to them." Of course, I personally want changes, but ProGlas and I, as one of the signatories, want above all for as many people as possible to exercise their right to vote," Kesić said.
It was also announced that the musical duet Vlada and Bajka will perform the song "Belgrade" at tonight's meeting, and performances by the band Eyesburn and the musician Sevdah Baby are also expected.
The ProGlas initiative, which calls on people to participate in the upcoming elections in large numbers, was launched by Ljubomir Simović, Vladimir Kostić, Ivanka Popović, Miodrag Majić, Miodrag Jovanović, Dragan Bjelogrlić, Vladica Cvetković, Svetlana Bojković, Gojko Božović, Srdan Golubović, Biljana Stepanović, Filip Ejdus, Tamara Džamonja Ignjatović and Petar Peca Popović.
"Serbia is our country and that's why this is a common fight in which we need to prove what we are and how many of us there are." That struggle is based on the lessons of the past, a clear insight into the present and, what is crucial, it is dedicated to the future of Serbia," the ProGlas initiative writes.
