Opposition SNS party activists have so far gathered 900,000 signatures backing their request to call early parliamentary elections.

SNS gathers 900,000 signatures Commenting on statements heard from the ruling coalition officials, who are referring to the SNS initiative as legitimate but unlikely to have any effect, Selakovic said that they are not pointing in favor of stability of the Serbian government. He also said that "such statements" do not suggest that the current government would last its entire mandate, "but that Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic, Bizidar Djelic and Mirko Cvetkovic, among others, only care about the power and not the opinion of the Serbian citizens". According to the SNS official, one million Serbian citizens who have backed the SNS initiative "with their names, surnames and ID card numbers" are "explicitly against the policy of the current regime". “The Serb Progressive Party will on April 24 hold the party assembly and show that it is the largest party in Serbia, and the only one which has the potential and capacity to bring about the much needed changes,” SNS official Marko Djuric, who attended the same news conferece, said. He added that representatives of the countries of the region and others would attend the SNS assembly, which “shows how big a reputation SNS has gained in the international community in a short time”. Djuric told reporters that representatives of parties from Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary had confirmed their presence.
