<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US">Ahoy dear
Pirates!</p><br>We are
hereby delighted to announce that the <b>Pirate Party of Serbia is
finally officially registered</b>, 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.<br>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US">Being
organized in a civil movement, officially called Pirate
Movement(<i>Piratski pokret</i> 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? :) <b>We are also able to take part at elections
in capacity of civil movement</b> (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.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US">In the
following days we will organize a sort of celebration party (most
likely on next Friday, 7<sup>th</sup> of December) where everybody
will be invited, so if someone of Pirates from this list is passing
by Belgrade feel free to come.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US">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.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US"><b>We would
also like to thank Aleksandar Blagojević</b> 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 <b>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</b>.
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, <b>if Aleksandar Blagojević is willing to reconsider
his approach, he is of course more than welcome to be part of Pirate
Movement once again</b>.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm" align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US">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 <i>“at
the helm”</i>. That's important because <b>we would like to
continue to be part of PPI and everything that comes by</b>.</p>
