Serbian Presidency in Belgrade (BETAPHOTO/Ana Slovic/)
Marinika Tepic, vice president of the Freedom and Justice Party, who headed the Serbia Against Violence electoral ticket, said on Feb. 26 that this opposition coalition would not attend the consultations on the new government with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic scheduled for March 4.
In a statement to N1 TV, Tepic stressed that Vucic and the Serbian Progressive Party had destroyed institutions and that Vucic had missed a chance to do something for his country.
"More than half of Serbia did not vote for your government. Acknowledge their representatives. The opposition is an institution, too. We have tried different ways, but they obstinately cling to their decision that they are irremovable. So there's no point in communicating with the destroyed institutions or with them," Tepic concluded.
She stressed that something might change if the consultations were open to the public.
"But as things stand now, when [Vucic] had stripped everything of meaning, destroyed it, when our institutions are eviscerated, there's nothing left for us to do than take another path, the only one left to us," Tepic underscored.
