Hello Mattias.<br><br>There is only one Pirate Party in Serbia wih legal status, and that is already mentioned "Pirate Movement" in form of civil movement. Whatever Aleksandar mentioned are vague and overly optimistic plans at best. And yes, technically speaking we both "claim" to represent true PPRS.<br>
<br>In last email I forgot to mention that for the first time in five years of existence, Pirates of Serbia democratically chose leadership, or more precise positions within our civil movement, at our <span lang="en"><span>Constituent Assembly month or so ago.<br>
<br>We don't have English versions of our statue nor minutes from </span></span><span lang="en"><span>Constituent Assembly</span></span>, but we can translate them and will do so in coming day/weeks.<br><br>Just to one more time underline that there is only one legal entity representing Pirates in Serbia at the moment.<br>
<br>Best regards.<br><br>

I am a bit confused.<br>
<br>
If I understand it correctly there is currently one Serbian Pirate party that has the legal status of a civil movement, mentioned in the email from Marko, and one Serbian Pirate Party that has the legal status of something else/nothing (?), mentioned from Aleksandar. Is this correct? And both claim to represent the true Serbian pirate party?<br>
<br>
Well, PPI demands that a member organization have internal democratic structure, so I suppose that a quick way to see who actually is the true Serbian pirate party is by at the next PPI GA ask for the statutes and minutes from the last general assembly of both entities claiming to be the Serbian pirates.<br>
<br>
Actually, I would be very interested to see English versions of the statutes for these organizations allready at this time if any such exists or can be produced.<br>
<br>
I would also like to see a list of board members for both organizations and the minutes from the meeting where they were elected.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

All of this is a blunt manipulation. Pirate Party of Serbia is NOT<br>
officially registered as a political party.<br>
<br>
Earlier this year in October we already informed the public about<br>
this group not supporting basic human rights, which was enough for<br>
them to make a division:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://piratskapartija.com/pirate-party-of-serbia-defending-integrity-and-good-name/" target="_blank">http://piratskapartija.com/<u></u>pirate-party-of-serbia-<u></u>defending-integrity-and-good-<u></u>name/</a><br>
</div>
[6] Considering the cause, this group should not and can not be<div><br>
perceived as a Pirate whatever because they are not serious in<br>
relation to our fundamental values.<br>
<br>
This group is simply using historical chance in an opportunistic way<br>
to gain personal and material benefit and to impress all of us how<br>
detached from reality young people can be.<br>
<br>
Group also vandalized the wiki page:<br>
</div><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party_of_Serbia" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<u></u>Pirate_Party_of_Serbia</a> [7] (I know the<div><br>
editing nick), but is kinda cool to have my name defending basic human<br>
rights against the whole madafakin "core team" ^_^<br>
<br>
OFF<br>
Exclusive news like this, "Official registration of Pirate Party in<br>
Serbia", will be aired on mayor world wide media most probably next<br>
year all along with death threats coming straight from above from our<br>
closed political establishment finding themselves in a weird situation<br>
of having the real opposition after more than two decades of very<br>
complicated political life in Serbia.<br>
Not like this, as a shy and below the belt slimy manipulation on<br>
this mail list.<br>
<br>

Ahoy dear Pirates!<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<div>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br></div>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<div>
<br>

This email is written in the name of entire PPRS. We are of course open to any possible questions.<br>
