Together, they formed neoliberal populist[1] Enough is Enough movement, advocating the changes in Serbian political culture and the break-up of political cartels in Serbia, which has eventually raised to the level of a political party. In the 2016 Serbian parliamentary election, the movement won 6% of the popular vote and 16 seats in the National Assembly of Serbia. Pavlović, who was second on the list, became a member of the National Assembly on 2 June 2016.[13]
