Alliance for Serbia (Beta/Luka Filipovic)
The Alliance for Serbia has announced the boycott of the forthcoming elections, in response to the March 4 scheduling of general elections in Serbia for April 26.
Speaking at a news conference of the Alliance in Belgrade, the president of the Alliance and of the Democratic Party, Zoran Lutovac, assessed that, regardless of the voter turnout, the forthcoming elections would not be legitimate without representatives of the opposition, whose demands, as he said, the authorities are ignoring.
He stressed that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was "crating his own opposition", instead of accepting the demands of the real opposition for improving the election conditions.
The president of the Dveri (Doors) Movement, Bosko Obradovic, stated that he wished Vucic "the best of health, a fair trial and a large library in prison," in comment of the following statement, which Vucic made in the morning of March 4: "He (Obradovic) would like for me to be killed, but that is unpopular for him to say." "As a Christian, I do not wish anyone harm. Boycott is just the means for securing fair elections, and then a fair trial of Aleksandar Vucic," Obradovic stated.
Asked by reporters about his stand regarding the migrant crisis, which is widely contested, Obradovic said that he would speak about that at news conferences of his Dveri Movement, because, in his words, "we have not gathered here to speak about individual policies, and it is known that members of the Alliance for Serbia have various political stances."
