Serbia gets new Green-Left party

He told the Beta news agency that the new party adopted a statute, program and other strategic documents at its founding assembly and added that co-chairs (male and female) would be elected next autumn.

He said that the new party was formed with local partner organizations across Serbia and added that its activities would be expanded. He voiced hope that the party would provide room for people to implement their political ideas.

“We decided to make formal what was a dam to the willfulness of the authorities for years, the informal activist approach into something that will be a new green and left force in Serbia,” Lazovic said and added that he expects deeper relations with the pro-European opposition.

He said the new party has requested membership in the European Greens party.
