> Ahoy dear Pirates!
>
> We are hereby delighted to announce that the *Pirate Party of Serbia is
> finally officially registered*, in the form of a civil movement. It is an
> unfortunate but necessary step for us before registering as a political
> party because of a rather restrictive election law in Serbia that require
> parties to collect 10000 signatures and a sizable monetary amount prior to
> registering.
>
> Being organized in a civil movement, officially called Pirate Movement(*Piratski
> pokret* in Serbian), will help us grow as a party and learn how to work
> in more formalized structures than before. We hope that the restrictive law
> will offer us a stern challenge which when overcame will make us far more
> prepared for serious battle on the ugly Serbian political scene. Always
> look for the bright side, eh? :) *We are also able to take part at
> elections in capacity of civil movement* (though we would still need
> 10000 signatures for that), but as the next general elections in Serbia are
> scheduled for 2016. we hope to register the political party prior to that.
>
> In the following days we will organize a sort of celebration party (most
> likely on next Friday, 7th of December) where everybody will be invited,
> so if someone of Pirates from this list is passing by Belgrade feel free to
> come.
>
> Now with a registered body we are ready to start more serious work
> including, but of course not limited to, expanding our members base,
> starting grassroots movements in all cities and towns where that is
> possible, organizing projects and events that will give us more air time in
> old school media because use of Internet is not widespread in Serbia as
> much as we would like to, and many, many more.
>
> *We would also like to thank Aleksandar Blagojević* for all of his hard
> work done with establishing Pirates in Serbia and basically running the
> show all by himself for couple of years. But sadly, he chose not to be a
> part of this Pirate Movement so *we would like you to update all your
> contact information for PPRS with the data below, readmit us to PPI-Leaders
> mailing list and keep your further official correspondence with the
> officially registered Pirate Movement*. Parting ways with Blagojević was
> necessary due to his ever increasing authoritarian approaches to
> leadership, lack of transparency about his whereabouts, actions and
> intentions, continuous name-calling and attempts to oust out any Pirates he
> didn't like, and unwillingness to actually be part of any attempt to
> register and formalize with even suspicions of sabotage. Thus, we were
> sadly and regrettably forced to exclude him (or branch out, depending of
> view point), and a handful, if any, of his followers. Nevertheless, *if
> Aleksandar Blagojević is willing to reconsider his approach, he is of
> course more than welcome to be part of Pirate Movement once again*.
>
> This long(ish) explanation was necessary in order to make members of PPI
> know that all Pirates of the new Pirate Movement are old Pirates active for
> a long time in Serbia with just the change of one man *"at the helm"*.
> That's important because *we would like to continue to be part of PPI and
> everything that comes by*.
>
> This email is written in the name of entire PPRS. We are of course open to
> any possible questions.
