Radomir Lazović, head of the parliamentary group of the Green–Left Front (ZLF), has called for broad cooperation among opposition forces, students, civil society, and experts in order to defeat Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić in future elections.
In an interview with the Serbian weekly Vreme, Lazović emphasized that divisions among anti-government forces must end, warning that Vučić is ready to use any means to stay in power.
“Students, parties, citizens, civil society, and experts are all needed, because Vučić is ready for literally anything,” Lazović said.
Warning About Divisions in the Opposition
According to Lazović, the Serbian president is actively seeking to create divisions among opposition groups, particularly by attempting to separate the student movement from political parties.
He argued that some public figures with failed political careers are attacking the opposition in order to gain legitimacy and move closer to the student movement.
Call for a Unified Electoral Strategy
Lazović said the most effective solution would be a single joint electoral list of anti-government forces. If that proves impossible, he suggested that multiple opposition lists should still coordinate closely and operate as a team.
The ZLF leader also expressed support for the political organization of the student movement, stressing that students have the right to determine their own political direction.
Cooperation With Student Activists
Lazović acknowledged that the Green–Left Front does not have formal communication with the student movement, but maintains contacts with individuals who are part of it or closely connected to it.
“We know each other from the streets,” he said, referring to joint participation in protests.
He also noted that ZLF activists were present at demonstrations from the very beginning, including the protest action involving “bloody hands” placed on the doors of the Government of Serbia building, organized after the collapse of a structure that sparked public outrage.
“The Regime Is Ready for Anything”
Lazović concluded that the current political situation requires deeper cooperation among opposition groups, warning that the Serbian government may escalate its tactics.
“Now something more is required because the regime is ready for anything. We must cooperate,” he said.
