Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has announced that he will at the end of this month in London attend an EBRD conference on the region, based on what has been done in Serbia.
“Showcase Serbia” will be presented at the conference, he said.
Vucic said that reforms are the reason why he has decided for early parliamentary elections and that he wants to ensure a full term to the government to enable it to complete the reforms by 2019 or 2020.
“We are going to elections because it is important for Serbia to have an uninterrupted course of serious and tough reforms that we need to complete in 2020. I am making no promises to anyone that we will join the EU at that time, but we will do everything to make that happen,” the prime minister said on a Happy TV talk show.
Vucic said that for him it is very important that Serbia achieves certain standards and becomes an orderly society, with stable public finances and entrepreneurial spirit.
The upcoming elections will be tough and with an uncertain outcome, the prime minister said.
Vucic: Serbia will have more roads than Croatia
BELGRADE – Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said that, even though there are no problems for Serbia, he is concerned over regional stability and that Serbia wants to have good relations with Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina at the same time.
Speaking about Croatia, the prime minister said that it has good roads, but that in 2017 Serbia will have more kilometres of roads than Croatia.
There is something else in Serbia – a lynch atmosphere against anyone who says something good about it, even against representatives of the international community, such as European Commissioner Johannes Hahn, EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini or German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
He reiterated that he will always speak well of Merkel.
“You forget that, when we had the ‘customs war’ with Croatia, it was thanks to Merkel that it did not happen. She said that Serbia was right, and Croatia had to rescind the decision,” Vucic said.
Vucic: Medvedev to visit Serbia in next three months
BELGRADE – Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will visit Serbia in the next three months, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has announced.
Asked about outstanding gas debts to Russia, Vucic said that Serbia is “pretty transparent” about the issue and that he thinks that the Russian government is satisfied, too.
“We are also transparent about our relations with Russia and I expect Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to visit Serbia in the next three months,” Vucic said on a Happy TV talk show.
