Serbian Government panel (BETAPHOTO/NENAD PETROVIC/)
Serbian Premier Milos Vucevic said in Belgrade on Dec. 29 that the time had come for the state to ramp up its fight against corruption to show that no one was protected, adding that that there would be no interim cabinet.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said recently that the people of Serbia would see the fiercest crackdown on corruption in 24 years by March 31, 2025, and that this will apply to people in the government and their associates. Speaking for Pink TV, Vucevic said a crackdown on those who had abused their positions was in the works, adding that similar pushes were always happening, but that there were times when the state had to step up its efforts.
Vucevic told the opposition that there would be no interim cabinet and said that attempts at a color revolution were being made in Serbia. "Changing the government is fine, but there is only one way to do that -- elections. Let me be clear: There will be no mandate for forming an interim cabinet -- as long as he is president of this state Aleksandar Vucic will not entrust anyone with a mandate for creating an interim cabinet. Serbian Progressive Party MPs will never vote for such a cabinet," he said.
On the subject of recent mass protests, he said the "government does not have an issue with some of the students organizing their blockades, but it would be fair for them to allow the absolute majority of students to take their exams."
