U-Turn (Serbian coalition)

On the 5 November 2011, the proclamation "Turnover - Serbia into Europe, Europe into Serbia" was released to the public and was signed by the Liberal Democratic Party, Serbian Renewal Movement, and the Social Democratic Union as well as a number of intellectuals, and later joined by some regional and minority parties and non-governmental organizations.[1]

The proclamation states that they want to change the state policy towards Kosovo since the coalition claims that it has not been under Serbia's sovereignty since 1999. The proclamation also states that the goal of the signatories is to "united all those who are for Serbia in Europe" and criticizes the Government of Serbia and its, as stated, "indulgence in anti-European hysteria". After the presentation of the proclamation, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Čedomir Jovanović, sent invitations to the patriarch, the President of Serbia, Boris Tadić and the President of SANU to sign it. Serbian President Boris Tadić said on the same day that he would not sign the proclamation because he "essentially disagrees with the policy of giving up legitimate state and national interests".[2] The Liberal Democratic Party announced on 8 and 13 November 2011 that the proclamation had been signed by a large number of professors, directors, writers, musicians, and representatives of the non-governmental sector.[3][4]

At a press conference held 11 March 2012, Čedomir Jovanović announced a pre-election coalition with the SPO, SDU, ASNS, Rich Serbia and some regional parties. The joint electoral list will be called "Preokret!" and its ballot holder will be Čedomir Jovanović. The coalition was de facto dissolved in 2013.
