The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, said today that she would like to try to establish a dialogue with the opposition and reduce tensions in the position of President of the Serbian Parliament, for which the Serbian Progressive Party is proposing her.
She added that Ivica Dacic will preside over the government until a new one is elected.
She told TV Prva that it is quite normal that there are different opinions on some things, and that there is dialogue at the same time, and that for a strong and serious country it is necessary to have a serious government, but also a serious and responsible opposition.
According to her, by constantly changing the (opposition's) demands, at some point everyone will begin to wonder where the country is going, and for dialogue it is necessary for the opposition to take some responsibility.
Brnabić said that she would enter the Assembly with the intention of focusing on problems and that she would try to bring even more public into the parliament, through public hearings, debates, and various events. She also pointed out that she would like to strengthen parliamentary diplomacy, which should be such as to secure Serbia's better positions, she reports N1.
As she said, "in a normal country", everyone should work in the interest of Serbia, and not collapse some positions of the state for the sake of personal interests.
There is no speculation about the date of the election
Brnabić said that after the election of the President of the Assembly, the first thing on the agenda is to call the Belgrade elections and that the date cannot be speculated or negotiated excessively, because it is a matter of the law, stating that it is in the interest of the citizens to form institutions as soon as possible.
"You can't apply some of the ODIHR's recommendations until you elect the president of the Assembly, because it's about changing the law," Brnabić told Prva television, stating that the government cannot "move and bend in accordance with changes in the opinion of the opposition."
Brnabić asked what kind of election conditions the opposition was talking about because, as she pointed out, under the current conditions, they were asking for the immediate calling of special elections, and she also stated that "the Government has already implemented some recommendations that it could as the Government".
She also said that an invitation letter has already been sent to ODIHR to send its observation mission to the local elections in Belgrade, as well as an expert to see what else it can do about the voter list.
