Radomir Lazović, co-chair of the Green–Left Front (ZLF), has urged all anti-regime political forces in Serbia to unite and coordinate efforts in order to pressure President Aleksandar Vučić into calling early elections.
Speaking on N1’s “Direktno” program, Lazović said the time had come for a broad democratic coalition to confront what he described as an entrenched authoritarian system under Vučić.
“Let’s coordinate our actions to force Vučić to bring about elections. Vučić will run away from elections,” Lazović said, emphasizing that every political actor must be involved.
“The Regime Won’t Leave Easily”
Lazović, a vocal critic of Vučić’s government, warned that the current regime has no intention of stepping down peacefully, pointing to its consistent manipulation of institutions and suppression of dissent.
“I don’t think this regime will simply go away — it has shown that time and time again,” Lazović remarked.
The Green–Left Front and the Movement of Free Citizens (PSG) recently signed a Memorandum of Strategic Cooperation, which Lazović described as a long-term partnership based on shared values and European aspirations.
Grbović: Serbia Faces a Defining Choice
Pavle Grbović, president of the Movement of Free Citizens, echoed Lazović’s call for unity, saying his party remains open to collaboration with all democratic forces in Serbia.
“Our agreement with the Green–Left Front proves that politics in Serbia can be built on mutual respect, trust, and common values,” Grbović said.
He warned that Serbia now stands at a critical crossroads:
“We must decide whether to remain stuck in this radical swamp of the past 35 years, or to move forward on the European path — the only natural path for Serbia. This may be our last train to Europe, and we must not miss it.”
Unclear Political Signals
Commenting on recent government actions regarding the Law on the Electoral Roll and the appointment of members to the REM Council, Grbović suggested these moves could be aimed both at unlocking EU growth funds and preparing for potential elections.
“It’s primarily about unlocking those funds and showing that some progress has been made,” he said, adding that Serbia’s authorities are attempting to project reform without real democratic intent.
Mounting Pressure for Change
Analysts note that public dissatisfaction is rising, while international pressure on Belgrade to restore democratic standards continues to grow.
Still, opposition leaders like Lazović and Grbović stress that only unity among anti-regime forces can create the momentum necessary for real political transformation in Serbia.
