Miroslav Aleksić has told Dragan Đilas and the Freedom and Justice Party that the People’s Movement of Serbia will go to the upcoming elections alone. According to Đilas, Aleksić believes the party can win more votes by doing so.

“Aleksić informed us that they had decided to go alone, that they thought they would get more votes that way, and that was it,” Đilas told N1.

The SSP leader said the meeting had addressed a two-bloc opposition strategy. The Platform for a European Serbia includes SSP, Serbia Centre, PSG and Solidarity, while the People’s Serbia bloc includes NPS, New Face of Serbia and Ecological Uprising.

N1 said it tried to contact Aleksić, but he had not responded to its questions. The outlet reported that NPS decided against joining a joint electoral list because the party considered it too late to reach an agreement and because opposition ran deep among its membership. Media close to the authorities reported this week that early parliamentary elections would take place on October 25.
