Democrats and Progressives to hold rallies on April 25

The SNS made the announcement saying their desire was "not to divide the country," while the DS wants "citizens to declare themselves about the policy of the government."

"I am a little more responsible than some other people, I have no intention of dividing Serbia, although the ratio would be ten to one in the number of attendees. I do not want 30 of our buses meeting up with three of theirs. I want to protect Serbia from conflicts and divisions," said Prime Minister and SNS leader Aleksandar Vucic.

And while the Progressives wish to mark the first anniversary of coming to power with a rally in Vojvodina, the Democrats aim to "fight against dictatorship."

"It's somewhat unusual for a rally of self-support of the SNS and a celebration of the government to be organized in front of the government of Vojvodina. For that reason the DS will organize its rally in front of the (Serbian) government, where decisions about cutting salaries and pensions, taking out loans, gifting land... have been made for more than 1,000 days now," said DS official Aleksandra Jerkov.

Opinion polls show the SNS has ten times more supporters than the DS, and Faculty of Political Sciences Professor Zoran Stojiljkovic believes that the ruling party feels it is necessary to show it has a huge backing "despite everything, despite the difficult measures it is taking."

"For the DS, it is important to have the mobilization quantum, to bring its reserved voters to the streets and receive support from them," Stojiljkovic, said, and added that he considers these rallies to also be "a test of the electorate ahead of possible elections, although they have been neither announced nor planned - at least not for now."
