DSS ends campaign, focuses on "political neutrality"
The Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) held a closing election rally in Belgrade, promoting once again its policy in favor of Serbia's political neutrality.
"Therefore, Serbia's EU entry is not a national interest, he said, adding that the EU encouraged secessionists in Kosovo and Metohija to declare an independent state, then recognized the independence of that territory..."
Mr Kostunica, you know it better, stop telling lies and spreading misinformation: The EU didn't recognize independence of anyone or anything - the EU has no common stand. 25 EU members did, 4 did not.
"...and underlined that there is no economic growth while the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) is being implemented. According to him, Serbia lost EUR 2 billion in the last six years, which is equal to the loss of 300,000 jobs."
Serbia didn't lose anything, only import taxes - i.e. the citizens spend less money. Having in mind that more than 50% of Serbian exports go to the EU, I wonder where Serbia would have been without the SAA.
"Popovic added that Serbia is the only country in the world that has a free trade agreement with Russia, and promised that the DSS, when it comes to power, will open an office for cooperation with the Russian Federation, "which will help the entire economy export more."
And maybe he would even dare to negotiate a free trade agreement that deserves this name, not a one like the current one which excludes the main Serbian export good, cars, from the 'free trade', while Russian gas and oil is not subjected to taxes.
Ever asked yourself why Serbia's has the biggest trade deficit with Russia?
