The ruling coalition rejected the oppositions demand to put the report of the State Audit Institution (DRI) on budget spending on the parliamentary agenda. Ruling coalition MPs say support a parliamentary discussion of the historic first budget audit report, but three months after it arrived in parliament, have yet to put it on the agenda. DRI report not on parliament agenda In December, during a session of the Finance Committee, they agreed that the report should be debated, but have now changed their minds. Finance Committee official Vlajko Senic, of the ruling G17 Plus party, said that this is a consequence of “the way in which the ruling coalition functions in parliament,” which is “very difficult to explain to the media”. Democratic Party MP Nada Kolundzija said that MPs cannot make a decision on the report itself, rather only on measures, proposals or conclusions that would be given to them by the according committee based on the report. Even though the ruling coalition states that the delay of the debate of the report is a matter of respecting procedures, the opposition sees it as a lack of political will to see this issue through. Opposition Democratic Party of Serbia MP Radojko Obradovic said that his party proposed to have the DRI report put on the parliamentary agenda. “This proposal was supported by the entire opposition and the ruling coalition obviously does not have the desire and will to discuss it,” Obradovic said. Liberal Democratic Party leader Cedomir Jovanovic said that the government does not have the power to debate the way in which it spends money and “is sending a message that it does not have to power to change this country". Meanwhile, Parliamentary Speaker Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic told journalists that the parliament “can discuss the DRI report during the spring sitting, maybe even by the end of the current session”. Based on the report on budget spending in 2008, the DRI filed charges against 19 current and former ministers and administrative directors. Charges were filed again current ministers Tomica Milosavljevic, Zarko Obradovic, Oliver Dulic, Nebojsa Bradic, Goran Bogdanovic, Sasa Dragin and Slobodan Milosavljevic, as well as former ministers Predrag Bubalo, Slobodan Samardzic, Zoran Loncar and Vojislav Brajovic.
