''CI People’s Justice, as a member of the Alliance for Serbia for Kosovo, it advocates for the citizens of Serb nationality in Kosovo not to go to the polls and thus preserve the dignity that is being threatened from several directions – by Pristina, because they look down on us, by the ‘international community’ as it treats us as collateral damage and by Vucic’s regime because he sees us only as a stake in the gambling table intended to preserve his power at all costs,'' the leader of People’s Justice, Nenad Radosavljevic told KoSSev.
