The Parliament of Free Serbia, the Civil Platform "Action" and the Ecological Uprising will act as one organization in the future, after the Declaration on Unification was signed on June 1, envisaging the forming of a joint political organization.

The agreement was signed on the premises of the Parliament of Free Serbia by the presidential candidate of the We Must coalition, Biljana Stojkovic, the president of the Together for Serbia and the imitator of the "Action" platform, Nebojsa Zelenovic, and the activist of the Ecological Uprising, Aleksandar Jovanovic Cuta.

According to announcements, the organization will have co-presidents instead of a president and its name will be announced at its founding assembly, which has been scheduled for June 11. Zelenovic stated at a news conference that the new political organization would enable "the voice of every person and every member to be heard" and that, for every future election, the candidates on tickets will have to pass a "process of preliminary election."

"There will be no more agreements behind closed doors, or between individuals. We believe that to be the only way to lead us to victory in a future election," Zelenovic said. In his words, after the unification assembly, "a nationwide campaign will start with the aim of informing the people about the program" of the new organization.
