Na yesterday's meeting of all opposition parliamentary parties it was decided that citizens will be invited to a large protest next Wednesday in Belgrade if the government does not fulfill the demands which were previously posted.
In a joint statement, it is stated that representatives of the opposition "condemn the violence of paid hooligans, who were organized by the government in Novi Sad and presented the peaceful protests of tens of thousands of citizens as violent".
It is emphasized that only a few paid thugs were destroying the City Hall building, which the police obviously did not protect intentionally, nor did they arrest them, but instead arrested those who had nothing to do with the violence.
"Therefore, the opposition demands the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the reconstruction project of the Railway Station, and the release of those who were detained at the protests without any valid reason, such as Goran Ješić, who wanted to protect the young man with a human reaction from illegitimate persons, who led in an unknown direction," the statement of the opposition reads.
"None of you were allowed to come and stand in the front row"
However, in the meantime, member of the Assembly of Novi Sad and activist of the "Bravo" movement Miran Pogačar spoke out, opposing the idea of holding the protest in Belgrade and accusing the opposition parties of making this decision without any consultation with organizations from Novi Sad.
"Who authorized the party headquarters to decide when, where and what the next protest will be without any consultation with the movements, activists and youth of Novi Sad?" When you were invited to the front row yesterday, none of you were allowed to come and stand," the post on social networks reads.
He said that Novi Sad and its fate cannot be decided without Novi Sad.
"It is absolutely inadmissible to decide in this way." Will the parties from Belgrade decide everything that needs to happen in our country when they think it suits them", asked Pogačar and stated: "Unfortunately, we all saw what happened during the protests due to the tragedies in Ribnikar, Dubona and Mali Orašje. Hundreds of thousands on the streets and endless marches, to end up with stolen elections and a little more space for your parties in parliament."
Let us remind you that this councilor in the city parliament was detained after the protest and kept in the police station for several hours.
