Milos Jovanovic (Beta/Milos Miskov)
Milos Jovanovic, one of the leaders of the Metla (Broom) 2020 Movement, has said that changes to electoral law and elections in which individuals would be chosen rather than tickets would vanquish the party state and build an independent judiciary and media.
Speaking on the subject of curbing corruption in an interview published by BETA on June 14, Jovanovic said the first step should be to remove the possiblity of passing minimal two-year prison sentences for corruption.
"We should introduce the institution of the agent provocateur to investigate corruption-related offenses, too," Jovanovic stressed, promising that Metla 2020 would adopt a true law on the origin of property which would apply to persons who have held public office since 1990.
Metla 2020 stands for destroying the partocratic system, because, it says, "In today's Serbia a party membership card -- of the ruling party of course, is more important than an employment card or student card."
"This can be prevented by replacing the electoral system with the so-called majority system, which will permit citizens to vote for a particular person and not an anonymous ticket, which will kill the partisan armies and take power away from party leaders," he said.
