Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) leader and Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Sunday that he has decided that the country will go to early parliamentary elections to solve the social conflict that is blocking reforms.
Addressing an SNS Head Committee meeting, Vucic said that the government needs a full mandate to complete by 2020 the reforms that have steered Serbia to a good and safe path.
Since the SNS has taken power, Serbia has been in a state of a latent social conflict – the SNS and the government formed by it are facing enormous opposition because they have been striving to crush a bloc consisting of tycoons, politicians and criminals who had no interest in progress in Serbia or any changes whatsoever, Vucic said.
“We have begun a conflict with them as well as with those amongst us for whom power is just a way of personal enrichment,” Vucic said.
“The centre of resistance to this government, to a decent and progressive Serbia and the reform policy are those who were part of the former bad authorities and the false elite created by those authorities,” Vucic said, adding that the “centre of resistance” has been blocking any change and progress in the country for 10 years.
By 2020, Serbia must become an orderly country that is at the threshold of the EU and without the present social conflicts, he said.
He urged the Progressives not to underestimate political opponents, wishing them a fair, serious and responsible electoral campaign.
“The citizens will know how to choose because no one can stop Serbia on its path to a better future,” he concluded.
