The candidate for mayor of Belgrade from the Serbia against violence list, Vladimir Obradović, told "Vreme" that the government will decide to repeat the elections in Belgrade. He is convinced of the improvement of the election conditions, although the representatives of the government do not announce this at all

"The public had the opportunity to see." today's pictures from the Assembly of Belgrade. It is strange that someone claims to have a majority in the city parliament without appearing in the Assembly. That is quite unusual. However, if we look at the bigger picture, it has been confirmed for the umpteenth time that the institutions do not exist and do not function", said Obradović.

According to him, the non-functioning of the institutions is no longer hidden, but "it is publicly announced that President Vučić will make a decision on the elections, and he does not have any authority for such a thing".

"He formally does not have any authority for the formation of authorities at the level of local self-government, but should deal with consultations for the formation of the Government of Serbia." As far as party activities are concerned, I remind you that he is no longer even the president of the party. His role does not exist here, and SNS officials keep repeating that the decisions of the institutions are not valid, but that President Vučić will make the decision", states Obradović.

He estimates that tomorrow he will announce a repeat of the election, although he will claim that it is a "new" election, "so as not to admit election theft."

"We work intensively all the time and insist on improving election conditions. The question is how much repeated elections without improving the conditions could even be called elections", believes the candidate for mayor of Belgrade from the list of Serbia against violence.

Stealing has become a habit.

He adds that SNS is "used to stealing in elections" and that it is time to stop doing that.

"They got used to stealing, and we fight against them with unity and work." To be honest, I can't even imagine that the elections will be repeated under the same conditions. I sincerely and firmly believe that the election conditions will change by then. If you look at the ruling elite, they insist and repeat that all the elections were clean and that there was nothing disputed. And everything that happened says the opposite," Obradović points out.

That is why he says that the SNS will work as it has been until now, that is, even if they claim that there will be no changes - they will do exactly the opposite and the election conditions will improve.

The deadline is coming soon.

Let us remind you, the constituent session of the Assembly of the City of Belgrade it was postponed again, and the new one is scheduled for Sunday, March 3, said today the president of the Provisional Authority of the City of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapić.

At the press conference, he announced that the parliament will not be constituted in any second attempt, nor on February 19, when the constitutive session was supposed to be held for the first time.

The deadline for the constitution of the Belgrade City Assembly is March 3, when the legal deadline of two months from the announcement of the election results expires. If it is not constituted even then, new elections are called.

Overview of the week

Vučić, protector of injustice

Aleksandar Vučić is carrying out an unannounced coup d'état. It's for nothing. He has no defense against the demand for justice. Because how can he look into the eyes of a mother who is on hunger strike, calm the people on the streets and silence the schoolchildren who are shouting on the excursion - "Pump!"
