If the opposition joins before the next parliamentary elections, I think it is important to create a common front that will be the answer to that and that the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) go to those elections together, he said tonight.

“As long as I am president of the SPS, I will make strategic decisions,” he said, adding that, unlike even some of his party’s voters, “political” positions, such as his at the head of the Assembly, are more important to him. than director and ministerial positions.
“For the director and the ministers, I just had problems, I need a political stage,” says Dacic, who was also asked how he deals with the fact that the SPS has received 200,000 fewer votes in previous elections than before.
“The SPS did not face a small redistribution of power, but a tsunami, first on October 5 and then with the coming to power of Vučić. We survived and today we have 10.5 percent support, and some parties no longer exist. Where are they and where am I? ”Dacic asked.
When asked about the “expulsion” of the director of Srbijagas, Dusan Bajatovic, from the meeting with the Minister of Mines and Energy, Zoran Mihajlovic, he replied that he did not want to comment on something that belongs to the Government, and that neither Bajatovic nor Mihajlovic they asked for his opinion.
“It would be better to try to solve problems, than to constantly look for them where there are none, and that is why I am open to help, but as chairman of the legislative body, I do not want to interfere in the executive branch,” Dacic said.
“It’s not mine to have a dialogue”
It is not my role to lead the dialogue between parties, I was elected president of the National Assembly, the highest legislative body, we have our agenda, and everything else is outside the regular activities of the parliament, Ivica Dacic told RTS tonight and emphasized that the talks have yet to be discussed. continuation of inter-party dialogue.
On the “Questionnaire” program, Dacic said he would not measure his success based on whether and how “any dialogue” would be organized.
“I did not start that dialogue, it started in the previous call and we still have to discuss its continuation,” explained Dacic.
He recalled that the former Speaker of the Assembly, Maja Gojković, responded to McAllister’s letter and that in the old parliament it was agreed that the European Parliament would assist in the inter-party dialogue between the government and the opposition in two phases: before and after the elections.
“So, the situation has changed, some of the parties that participated in these talks are no longer in the Assembly and we still have to discuss when and in what format the dialogue will continue,” emphasized Dacic.
He added that on November 24, the European Integration Committee will be constituted, headed by the Vice President of the Assembly, Vladimir Orlić, which will deal with issues such as the Progress Report of the European Commission.
“But the agenda and the activities of the Assembly are determined according to our state interests, and not on the basis of an imposed agenda,” Dacic said, adding that the continuation of the inter-party dialogue should be expected next year.
