According to him, citizens are told that they should be silent and suffer, that it can get worse, and that everyone is the same.

"Yes, I mean Dačić, I mean Šešelj, and yes, I mean Aleksandar Vučić. I know there are more of us on the other side. Maybe we were withdrawn and quiet, but look around you," said Veselinović, after which the citizens started chanting "Go away to Vučić".
Candidate for deputy of that coalition, Srđan Milivojević, vice-president of the Democratic Party, assessed that victory on December 17 does not require the command of Stepa Stepanović or Živojin Mišić, but "the command of conscience and a pen in hand."
"For this victory, you only need a pencil," said Milivojević and added "we cross out the ace, circle the seven."
He stated that on December 17, it will not be a fight for power, but a fight for freedom.
"This country deserves freedom, we are not giving this country away, it belongs to us," said Milivojević and added "either Serbia or the mafia."

Candidate for MP Zdravko Ponoš, president of the Serbia Center party, assessed that it is time for Serbia to change direction, to turn from "abnormality to normality".

"We are electing those people who will not allow mud to be burned in Kolubara, who will not push rivers into pipes, who will not have marijuana cultivation as a state project, who will not surrender and sell Kosovo," Ponoš said.

MP candidate Pavle Grbović, president of the Movement of Free Citizens, said that they had been trying to drive young people away from Serbia for a decade, but that they had failed.
"There are enough of us left. We have the strength, we have the knowledge and determination to say once and for all that enough is enough with the ugly radical past, let's dedicate ourselves to the future," Grbović said.
He assessed that it is up to Belgrade to be the one to initiate changes in the whole of Serbia and called on the citizens to demonstrate by Sunday that Belgrade and Serbia have the "heart and courage to fight for their dreams".

According to him, Serbia under Vučić has no "teachers, teachers, professors, youth, future, police, doctors, health workers".
"There is nothing in Serbia under Aleksandar Vučić. That is why it is our historical responsibility to liberate our homeland and to liberate our country from the cartel led by Aleksandar Vučić, Ana Brnabić, Siniša Mali and the rest of the gang," Parandilović said.
Journalist Milan Jovanović from Grocka, whose house was set on fire for which the president of that municipality was accused, addressed the crowd via video message, and said that the time has come for citizens to ask themselves what they can do for the welfare of the people and the welfare of Serbia.
"What can we do to live like people again, so that we don't fear that criminals will set our house on fire. What can we do for our children - do we want to leave them a Serbia like this," said Jovanović.
He stated that citizens can change this in the elections on December 17 and send the current government to the "dustbin of history".
