New Democratic Party president Milos Jovanovic said on Oct. 9 that “it isn’t right to be sitting in parliament given that the situation in society and state is completely abnormal,” the party said.

Jovanovic told the NIN weekly that he did not care whether his party “gains or loses anything by not participating in the operation of the National Parliament," and that “the nature of this government is amoral and unscrupulous.” Asked whether he held the fact that his colleagues in the opposition were participating in the operation of parliament against them Jovanovic said he held nothing against anyone “except for this depraved and sick government that is destroying Serbia” and that “all of us as the opposition must seriously get to grips [with the situation] if we want to accomplish something.”

“Our colleagues in the opposition have every right to bring decisions on the operation of the National Parliament, as well as other questions,” Jovanovic said.
