The United Opposition of Serbia (UOS) was set up on Aug. 10 by the organizations that had already worked together within the Alliance for Serbia and an informal organization, the Serbian Opposition, rallied around a common cause they described as "replacing Serbia's incompetent, arrogant, corrupt regime estranged from the people and built on the will of one man."
 
"In the fight for a democratic society we will use all the means of non-violent political struggle available, including all forms of civil disobedience," the Turnaround Movement leader, Janko Veselinovic, said while presenting the objectives and members of the new opposition group.
 

The inaugural agreement was signed by the Civil Platform, the Democratic Party, the Democratic Alliance of Vojvodina's Hungarians, the Nation-Building Movement of Serbia, the People's Party, the People's Movement of Serbs in Kosovo and Metoija, the Free Serbia Movement, the United Trade Unions of Serbia "Sloga," the Party of Freedom and Justice, the Sumadija Region and Djordje Vukadinovic. As said at the press conference, the new coalition is open to everyone else sharing the same goal.
 
"The Dveri movement didn't join the UOS, even though is had met all the requirements of membership, but we will work together," Veselinovic said, adding that the new coalition had grouped those who had never cooperated with Aleksandar Vucic's regime, but respected the Agreement with the People and didn't take part in Serbia's "false elections" last June.
