Opposition Official: Security Services in Serbia Persecuting Opposition Leaders

Serbia against Violence ticket lead candidate Miroslav Aleksic said on Nov. 30 that security services were not looking after the safety of Serbia’s citizens but persecuting opposition leaders and everyone who opposed the regime.

Aleksic who is the ticket’s lead candidate with Marinika Tepic said in a TV debate on N1 late on Nov. 29 that “the corruption of the Aleksandar Vucic regime has destroyed state institutions and the value system.” “We will create a special prosecution for corruption and police prosecutors, but we will conduct a review of all connections with crime by holders of office, meaning the confiscation of illegally obtained property,” The Aleksic-led People’s Movement of Serbia quoted Aleksic as saying.

According to him technical cooperation with other opposition tickets after elections was possible, but that the condition was no cooperation with the regime. “We have different views on some subjects, but we can agree on what is most important – to save our house from collapsing. This is what citizens expect from us and this is why we have united under the Serbia against Violence coalition to fight the regime, fight violence and create a different political culture,” Aleksic said.
