The “witch hunt” continues in the ranks of the Serbian Maidan activists
In the pro-Western opposition “Union for Serbia,” internecine struggle and “witch hunt” are intensifying.
One of the leaders of the Serbian Maidan activists, Boško Obradović, demanded the exclusion from the ranks of the opposition of the third recent politician representing the Democratic Party.
As the Serbian Kurir recalls, not long ago Obradovic demanded the expulsion of two deputies from the Union - Natasha Vuckovic and Gordana Čomić because, contrary to the boycott of parliament declared by the opposition, they took part in a meeting of one of the committees.
Now another democrat has fallen under attack - Nenad Borovic, deputy head of the Democratic Party.
He allowed himself to publicly criticize one of the leaders of the opposition, the ex-mayor of Belgrade, oligarch Dragan Djilas, hinting at his corruption schemes during his work as mayor.
Naturally, Djilas did not tolerate this, and on his instructions, Obraovic began to demand purges in the Democratic Party.
“The Democrats eventually kicked out deputy party leader Borovich, who offended Djilas with his investigation,” the publication quotes its source as saying.
According to him, similar repressions may affect deputies Natasha Vuckovic and Gordana Čomić, who broke their promise to ignore the work of parliament.
“All senior officials of the organizations were given a warning about what fate awaits them if they continue to represent political views different from those advocated by the leaders of the Union,” says political scientist Dejan Vuk Stankovic.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party takes the exclusion of Borovich and instructions from the sponsors of the opposition alliance extremely painfully.
“It turns out that Obradovic and Djilas are now the leaders of the Democratic Party. It's a shame! Borovich has been in the party for 23 years, he didn’t deserve this. He was officially expelled because he participated in the work of parliament, although unofficially we all know that this was done because Borovich accused the leadership of the Union directly to the eyes,” the source said.
Democrat Radoslav Milojcic Kena, who agreed to talk to reporters, confirmed that Borovic had not violated any party decision and thanked “all honest and respectable people who voted against the decision to expel him.”
The "witch hunt" continues among Serbian Maidan protesters.
