Opposition parties in the Serbian parliament on Monday said that they would not vote in favor of the 2012 state budget bill sent by the government. PM Mirko Cvetkovic presented the draft to MPs, to say that budget revenue was expected to be RSD 750 billion, while expenditure should be at RSD 890 billion. Opposition won't support 2012 budget The planned deficit would thus be round RSD 140 billion and will be financed mostly from loans, he stated. This year's adoption of the budget should not be a problem, unlike in previous years, because all of the parties in the government coalition have stated they are going to support the bill. The draft budget will be backed by the ruling coalition parties and the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina and the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians. United Regions of Serbia whip Mladjan Dinkic said the movement would "technically" back the budget, which "will have to be amended right after the formation of a new cabinet." However, the Liberal Democratic Party, the Serb Progressive Party, the Serb Radical Party, the Democratic Party of Serbia and the New Serbia said they would not support the draft budget. The debate in general on the bill ended late on Monday after eight hours. Acccording to Cvetkovic, he expected the debate to result in a document that would allow Serbia to adequately face the economic crisis and cope with it by suffering the least possible number of negative effects. The bill was prepared in conditions of slow economic growth, the crisis in the eurozone and expected GDP growth of 1.5 percent in 2012, the prime minister pointed out. According to him, almost the entire deficit will be used for capital investments, such as boosting domestic demand to raise economic activity in the country.
