"Holding new elections in Serbia would be a democratic solution to the current situation in the country because it is obvious that the parliamentary opposition has no political legitimacy. Vucevic's resignation is a dignified and responsible act, unusual for democratic countries".
This is what the speaker of the Serbian parliament Ana Brnabić stated, reports BGNES.
"The parliamentary opposition no longer represents anyone. This is a huge problem. On the other hand, the question is whether the elections will be able to solve anything at all," Brnabić said in an interview with TV Happy.
"The transitional government that part of the opposition is proposing as a solution to the crisis should be called a 'teleport government' because it will serve as a 'machine to teleport the opposition to ministerial seats'," she added.
"It would serve to teleport them to power because there is no other way to get to those seats. It is a disgrace and a shame that Milos Jovanovic, who has 2% of the people's support, is talking about this , everyone is seen in some ministerial positions," the Serbian parliament speaker argued.
Speaking about the resignation of Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic, she said that this act was honourable and responsible.
"What (Vucevic, ed.) has done is an unusual act in democratic countries," Brnabić said.
"It is unlikely to repeat the time we had before 2012 when there was no political accountability, now we have examples that everyone will refer to," she added.
BGNES recalls that Prime Minister Milos Vucevic resigned on 28 January, as did the mayor of Novi Sad. Vucevic's government will perform its functions until a new cabinet is elected.
Over the last two months, many thousands of people have been protesting in Serbia against the authoritarian, corrupt and police regime of President Aleksandar Vucic and the Serbian Government. The protests began after what happened in Novi Sad on 1 November last year, for which citizens blame the authorities. The railway station's visor collapsed several months after a major renovation. Subsequently, the lack of supervision over the construction became apparent and reasonable suspicions of corruption in public procurement with Chinese companies emerged.
On the morning of 28 January, a 24-hour blockade of Belgrade's Autocomanda neighbourhood ended.
The 24-hour blockade was imposed just a few days after the general strike in Serbia that took place on 24 January.
Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic said that a new government must be formed in 10 days, otherwise there will be new elections. | BGNES
