At is final election campaign rally, titled “Gathering of free cities and municipalities – Three-step plan for changing the regime” held in Belgrade in the evening on May 27, the opposition We Choose to Fight coalition vowed that once they came to power, they would combat corruption and crime and fight for a better life of citizens in cities across Serbia.

The coalition’s candidate for Belgrade mayor, Dobrica Veselinovic, said that the capital deserved to be a city of all its residents. “We have been fighting for clean air, functional public transport and transparent government which would combat crime and corruption. Our fight is a battle for dignity of every single citizen,” Veselinovic stressed.

The People’s Movement of Serbia leader, Miroslav Aleksic, underlined the importance of united opposition, which, he said, was the key to their strength, unity and resolve to create a fairer and better Serbia. “This is our chance and it is a battle for a Serbia without corruption and crime, for a state which respects the rule of law and equality before the law,” Aleksic stressed.

Ecological Uprising leader Aleksandar Cuta Jovanovic also addressed the rally, calling on Serbia’s citizens to fight till the end against (Serbian President) Aleksandar Vucic and his regime. “Vucic and his clique have enthroned themselves as modern despots and have been using all available means and methods to suppress the voice of the people. This is not an ordinary battle, this is a fight for our freedom, for our honor, for the future of our children. We choose free elections, we choose to fight till the end,” Jovanovic stressed.

The Green-Left Front party co-president, Biljana Djordjevic, said that the opposition’s plan was to run united and win local elections, and later, she said, to build infrastructure to exert pressure on the regime for to ensure “at least free elections” in Serbia.
