"We promised the citizens that the protests will continue. At the same time, we want to send a message to the European Parliament that the citizens of Serbia do not give up on their demands", Biljana Đorđević from the Green-Left Front told Vreme.
The "Serbia Against Violence" list calls for a new protest against the alleged election theft, on Tuesday, January 16, on the anniversary murder of Oliver Ivanovic.
Our sources say that it should be a protest jointly called with the ProGlas initiative and some non-governmental organizations, but the details have not yet been clarified.
The co-president of the Green-Left Front, Biljana Đorđević, tells "Vreme" that the European Parliament is expected to hold a session next week, where the elections in Serbia will be the topic.
"We promised the citizens that the protests will continue. At the same time, we want to send a protest message to the European Parliament that the citizens of Serbia do not give up on their demands", says Đorđević.
Apart from the date of Ivanovic's murder, Đorđević says that he will also remember the referendum on judicial reform that took place on January 16, when Serbia "did not get an independent judiciary".
"We can see that from the fact that the Prosecutor's Office did not respond to the numerous evidence of election theft," said Đorđević.

Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm.
