The leader of ruling coalition member Movement of Socialists, Aleksandar Vulin, said on April 3 that he had requested at a meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic that all Serbs from the territory of the former Yugoslavia and all who declared as Serbs in their native countries automatically be given the right to Serbian citizenship.

After the meeting between the Movement of Socialists representatives and Vucic, at the start of consultations on the potential holding of early parliamentary elections, Vulin told reporters that he had also asked the Serbian president to call a binding referendum on the continuation of Serbia's European integration.

“The European Union has shown that it has a policy of double standards toward Serbia. The EU is an organization that essentially does not respect Serbia, that does not want Serbia as a part of it, at least not in this size and independent. The EU takes more than it gives and has always been on the side of Serbia’s opponents,” said Vulin.

On April 3, Vucic started consultations with representatives of political parties on the holding of a snap general election and other political issues, which the opposition will not take part in.

National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabic said recently that Vucic had announced the launch of talks within the Serbian Progressive Party, but also with other parties and political factors, on parliamentary elections and "the country's broader foreign policy direction."Vulin Asking Vucic to Give All Serbs Right to Citizenship, Hold Referendum on EU
