The candidacy of Professor Biljana Stojković on behalf of the MORAMO coalition will complete our political offer and enable all those who are close to green and progressive ideas to be represented at every level of elections. We are a political option for all those people who care about social justice, a healthy environment and democracy, especially in a society that has been trampled on by one man’s autocratic boot for too long.

“It is the duty of the president to take care of justice for all citizens. Until now, together with you, I have fought against injustice, on the streets, in the fields, in front of the prison and factory gates. But, because of the people whose misfortune cannot be seen or heard, WE MUST enter the institutions of the system. I MUST fight for our farmers and workers, for health and education, for peace between us and in us. I MUST, for land, air, water and freedom “, said Biljana Stojković at the beginning of the campaign, speaking at the rally in Gornji Nedeljice.

We certainly believe that in the second round, all opposition organizations should unreservedly support the opposition candidate, and we believe that it will be our candidate, Biljana Stojković. Citizens of Serbia will have the possibility to support Mrs. Stojković’s candidature in numerous cities across the country, starting on Monday 7 March.
