The next parliamentary and local elections in Serbia would be held on the same day, the Serbian Parliament deputy speaker and an official of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, Sandra Bozic said on May 9.
Bozic said that all the demands voiced by the opposition at a rally held in Belgrade in the evening on May 8 would be fulfilled, but that the government would decide on how they would be realized.
“Everything they were demanding in relation to elections, even before this tragedy, will be absolutely at their disposal. But they will not choose how and when the elections will be held,” Bozic told TV Prva.
She also said that the goal of the May 8 protest titled “Serbia against Violence” was not to pay tribute to the victims of the recent mass shootings, but rather to help the organizers from certain opposition parties to get hold of official positions.
Asked when the measures to end violence, which President Aleksandar Vucic had spoken about, would be adopted, Bozic replied that she was expecting their adoption in urgent procedure, adding that the parliament could convene on the matter only after it received a draft document from the Government.
