premier-designate, Zoran Zivkovic, presenting his programme to the
Serbian parliament. #L#
The Serbian government will continue implementing the programme of
the slain premier Zoran Djindjic, Zivkovic said adding that other
priorities were the struggle against crime, a new Serbian
constitution, overall political stability, the further building of
the state union of Serbia and Montenegro, the continuation of
reforms and the process of privatisation, amendments to the
legislature as a precondition for attracting more investments, and
the continuation of diplomatic and politic activities focused on
the solution of the issue of Kosovo.
He called on the opposition to contribute to the creation of
stability in the country.
Zivkovic said the assassination of Djindjic was not only a result of
his showdown with the underground gangs but it was also the
politically-motivated killing.
The Serbian parliament's session on Tuesday was held mainly behind
the closed doors, and only a part when Zivkovic addressed MPs was
open for reporters.
Deputies of ICTY indictee Slobodan Milosevic's Socialist Party, of
the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) of Vojislav Kostunica, who was
the last president of the former Yugoslav federation, and of the
party of the killed underground boss Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan, have
announced they are not going to vote for the new premier-
designates. They are in favour of an interim government which may
include representatives of all parliamentary parties.
