Serbian Opposition, the West and Kosovo

New Proposals

The Together for Serbia leader, Mayor of Sabac Nebojsa Zelenovic, has offered a platform of sorts to shape future activities of the Serbian opposition. Zelenovic wants the West to be defined as the sole pillar of Serbia’s foreign policy, the opposition to be involved in resolving the Kosovo issue (insisting that the problem needs to be solved as soon as possible) and new faces to be presented to voters. The proposal is significant insofar as after several years it is practically the first attempt to make the opposition voice its stance on two very delicate issues – Serbia’s relationship with the West and Kosovo. Brussels and Washington haven’t reacted to Zelenovic’s idea yet. Initial reactions by some opposition parties are negative, but there haven’t been any clear-cut, final views either.
