Opposition demands immediate parliamentary and Belgrade elections

Democratic Party (DS) leader Zoran Lutovac said the protesters’ demands have not been met.

“We will demand parliamentary elections, along with those in Belgrade. By achieving success in the parliamentary elections we can fulfill the protest demands. We are asking for the citizens’ backing so we can get support in the parliamentary vote, meet those demands and stabilize social conditions," said Lutovac.

MP Radomir Lazovic said the opposition will block the Parliament session until they get a reply regarding their request for the calling of elections.

“Instead of meeting the demands of the Serbia Against Violence protest, the Progressives’ government chose to convince us that the system has not failed and so only deepened the crisis we are all in,” said Lazovic.

Co-leader of the Together party Aleksandar “Cuta” Jovanovic also announced elections, stressing that “is it our obligation to say 'no' to those who have turned this country into Colombia.”

“This is a place where all possible laws are most brutally violated and violence is directed against the MPs who think differently from these (Serbian President) Aleksandar Vucic’s slaves,” said Jovanovic.
