Ivica Dacic said in Belgrade on Sunday that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit will be important for political, economic and police cooperation. The Serbian first deputy premier and interior minister spoke two days ahead of Medvedev's arrival here, to say that the political aspect of the visit is very important because Serbia and Russia have a number of topics and subjects where their positions coincide, including on Kosovo. Dacic on Medvedev's "historic visit" "This above all concerns [our] territorial integrity and what we are doing internationally to dispute the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo and Metohija," Dacic told reporters at the opening of an exhibition to mark EU Anti-Trafficking Day. Dacic, who is at the helm of the ruling Socialists (SPS), today also spoke about local elections in Belgrade's Vozdovac municipality, scheduled for December 6, to tell his fellow Socialists that they must present themselves to the citizens "in the right way and work in the citizens' interest, because they will work in the interest of the party in that way". SPS – founded and led by Slobodan Milosevic until his death – was Serbia's ruling party throughout the 1990's. They returned to government last year after eight years in the opposition. The party meeting in Vozdovac was organized to mark "the 65th anniversary of the WW2 liberation of Belgrade, the 19th anniversary of the founding of the SPS branch in that municipality, and the start of the election campaign". According to Dacic, the party went through "different periods in the past years", and added that it "remains dedicated to its fundamental principles". He listed those principles as "freedom, equality and social justice". The minister also reminded of the principles that the current ruling coalition was based on, and said those were state and national interests, EU integration, economic development, "but along with social justice", and fight against crime and corruption. "Those are the fundamental principles to build a modern, democratic, whole and united Serbia, that will be an EU member, but that will guard her state and national interests, and that will be economically developed, but socially just country." High ranking SPS official and Belgrade Assembly President Aleksandar Antic also spoke to say that the party will "always be reminding of the value of the anti-fascist tradition", adding that "everyone in Serbia should join those forces who are marking and highlighting those values".
