Aleksandar Jovanovic Cuta (BETAPHOTO/EMIL VAS)
In the upcoming elections, it would be best for the opposition – including right-wing parties like the Dveri Movement and the Oath Keepers – to run on a single ticket, but that is simply not possible at this time, Ecological Uprising Leader Aleksandar ‘Cuta’ Jovanovic said on Oct. 9.
Speaking for the Nova daily about the opposition bloc behind the Serbia Against Violence rallies, Jovanovic said that several polls are under way to determine whether it is best for the parties to enter the elections on one or more tickets.
“I’m in favor of everyone [in the opposition] uniting, but that’s impossible. Who could possibly unite [Dveri head] Bosko Obradovic, Oath Keeper [leader] Milica [Djurdjevic], [Green-Left Front caucus head] Radomir Lazovic and [Freedom and Justice Party vice president] Marinika Tepic? As for the signatories of the Pact for Victory, I am in favor of a single ticket, but it’s not just up to me,” Jovanovic explained, referencing the agreement recently signed by the Serbia Against Violence opposition.
Asked whether he expects the snap elections to take place in December, the politician said he would not be surprised if they did not.
“The fact that 70 municipal heads and mayors have already resigned just shows what kind of human resources we’re dealing with. They’re slaves button-operated by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. But [their resignations] only go to show that those municipalities and cities can function without their presidents and mayors,” Jovanovic concluded.
