BELGRADE, Jan 11 (Hina) - The structure of the new Serbian government
will be known by the end of next week, the leader of the Democratic
Party of Serbia, Vojislav Kostunica, said after a meeting of parties
of the democratic bloc in Belgrade #L#
on Saturday.
The meeting tackled the issue of whether Serbia will have a majority
or a minority government, its composition, and support to government
priorities, Kostunica said. He added that the parties would organise
meetings of their bodies in the coming days to find the final solution
to the make-up of the new government. Kostunica said that arguments
for and against both a minority and a majority government were
presented at the meeting and that party positions were now much
clearer.
The meeting was attended by representatives of Kostunica's Democratic
Party of Serbia, Democratic Party officials Boris Tadic and Zoran
Zivkovic, the leader of the Serbian Civil Alliance, Goran Svilanovic,
Dragoljub Micunovic of the Democratic Centre, and Zarko Korac of the
Social Democratic Union. G17 Plus was represented by party president
Miroljub Labus and other party officials, while the coalition of the
Serb Revival Movement and New Serbia was represented by coalition
leaders Vuk Draskovic and Velimir Ilic.
None of the participants in yesterday's meeting, except for Kostunica,
wanted to make a statement.
Apart from parties of the democratic bloc, the Serb Radical Party of
Vojislav Seselj and the Socialist Party of Serbia of Slobodan
Milosevic have also entered the parliament, which must be constituted
by January 27 at the latest.
