The chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party, Dragan Djilas, said he expected the first free elections in Serbia later this year.
Addressing journalists in Kragujevac, Djilas said that in those elections, the current regime “all in scandals, related to crime, corruption and ignorance” will go down in history.
As he stated, Kragujevac must take over its large companies, such as Fiat (FCA) and the purpose-built industry (Zastava Oruzje), which employ some 7,000 people.
According to him, the state has done nothing for eight years to make a cooperation with the big company FCA, to preserve it and start the production of a new model and hire people.
Workers are now offered to work in Slovakia for a salary of 800 euros, where the costs are 400 euros.
Djilas said that some 4,000 workers work in the Fiat factory and subcontractors in Kragujevac, who spend their wages in that city, in shops, bakeries …
“When 4,000 jobs are saved in such a large system, at least four times as many jobs have been saved, so many families have been allowed to live decently,” Djilas said.
He added that the state must find a way to communicate with foreign owners, how people can work and receive wages.
The SAA president said that the state should not allow “Fiat to say tomorrow that it will no longer work here”, because they have partnered with Citroen and Peugeot and no longer need it.
“If the SAA were in power, I would talk to the people who run Fiat and ask them what needs to be done to continue the development of the factory in Kragujevac, which is the ‘lifeblood’ of the entire region,” said Djilas.
He stated that the state, with its ownership stake, must take responsibility and do whatever is necessary for the prospect of the Kragujevac factory.
As he said, 3,000 people work at “Namenska”, another “huge” company in Kragujevac, which “has the misfortune” that it is run by a man who led Krusik and brought it to complete ruin.
Djilas said that the construction of the Stem Cell Center, which was started by Professor Miodrag Stojković, should be completed in Kragujevac.
