DSS MP Milos Aligrudic said today that last night's meeting of governing coalition leaders was “a positive step.” Aligrudic added that further such meetings between the Democratic Party’s (DS) Boris Tadic, the Democratic Party of Serbia’s (DSS) Vojislav Kostunica and G17 Plus’s Mladjan Dinkic were needed because the issue of elections was an area “where agreement must be reached.” Coalition meets to settle election dispute The MP told journalists at the National Parliament that the biggest opposition party, the Serb Radical Party (SRS) should also take part in the election talks, stressing that it could not “shirk responsibility when such a matter was at stake.” “Last night, all the reasons behind the various opinions on this issue were brought up. We came to the conclusion that talks needed to continue in order to reach an adequate solution,” he said. Aligrudic expressed his confidence that the coalition partners would take on board the DSS' reasoning that it was unacceptable to conduct “a lively election campaign” while the talks on the future status of Kosovo were reaching their climax. “It would be good if we could agree that elections needed to be held soon, but only once we’re in a position to allow ourselves the luxury of launching an election campaign,” the MP concluded. Meanwhile, DS MP Nada Kolundzija reiterated today that her party does not insist on December 9 as being the only possible date for presidential elections. Kolundzija told reporters that the DS insisted on elections being held in line with Constitutional Law, and on the need for the regular functioning of the state. "There is no need for us to give up a stand that we are strongly bound to. We wish to see Constitutional Law and the timeframe stipulated therein respected. That means holding elections, and the issue of the Kosovo negotiating process is not something that should bring the whole country to a standstill," she said. According to the DS MP, the Democrats do not expect the negotiating process to end on December 10 and, with that in mind, the party believes that all democratic processes in Serbia should run their regular course. "From the very beginning, we have said that we are prepared to negotiate. We don’t want Serbia to grind to a halt on the basis of one important issue," said Kolundzija.
