Lutovac: We’ll Persuade Majority of Citizens To Vote against Incumbent Gov’t  

Zoran Lutovac: A Supporter of Unifying the Opposition through Action

Democratic Party leader Zoran Lutovac on Aug. 11 told BETA that he expected the United Opposition of Serbia to, with its actions, demonstrate to Serbia’s citizens that there was an alternative to the incumbent government.

“We are ready to reconcile mutual differences, because we are aware that only in a joint effort, we could achieve the necessary changes. We expect that in time, we will gather a larger number of parties, associations, organizations, and individuals united in reaching a common goal – the ouster of the autocratic regime and establishing a free society and a well-organized state,” Lutovac stressed.

He added that on that path, the first step would be to ensure fair elections in which citizens “could cast free ballots without pressure or blackmail.”

Asked by BETA what would be in the focus of the United Opposition of Serbia to ensure as few as possible abstentions in the next vote, Lutovac replied that in direct talks with citizens, the opposition would find an answer to what type of Serbia we would like to live in.
