"Those in power not ready for NATO, Srebrenica - or for LDP"

The party, led by Cedomir Jovanovic, issued this statement on Wednesday evening.

It came after ruling SNS party official Igor Mirovic described the LDP as "lacking that degree of breadth and tolerance related to the political ambient" that would allow it to join Aleksandar Vucic's new cabinet.

"They did not want us to lead Serbia into NATO, which would have made our country's future safer, nor to adopt the position that (the crime in) Srebrenica was genocide, which is a precondition for peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina," the LDP stated, and added:

"There has been no strength for leadership in a policy of reconciliation and establishing new relations between Pristina and Belgrade and a sincere regional partnership with Croatia."

The party sees the stance toward itself as "a measure of the readiness to step outside the stop-go policy in a concrete manner, to arrive to a truly reform government."

Therefore, the LDP continued, Mirovic was right when he said that the two parties diverge on their policies, "as has been the case until now."

"These political differences are not a consequence of some whim, but of our position that there can be no compromise on the essential issues faced by our society," the statement stressed, adding:

"It is clear to us also that the pressure from the outside has been too strong. Serbia is losing much more than the SNS and the LDP are, due to the inability to agree on implementing such a policy."

"The LDP's position toward the future government will be based on the policy it will implement, we will support each step in a good direction, and be a strong opposition to everything that is dragging our society backwards," the party announced.

The statement also said that it was up to each responsible party to do everything so that the upcoming period, "where society is the hostage of irresponsible policies and inept politicians," lasts as short a time as possible.
