Former Prime Minister Zoran Zivkovic believes that whatever combination is used to form the new government, it will not last long. He said that the best option for Serbia would be to call new elections, because if a new government was formed at this stage, he predicted that it would not last more than a year. Former PM: New elections best option “At the next elections, I expect the section of the conservative electorate, which has been let down by Kostunica, which thought that he was at least a little pro-European, will stop voting for him and move to the Democratic Party (DS),” Zivkovic predicted. The former prime minister also expected “some younger people who voted for the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) will realize that Europe is the future, and they will change sides.” Zivkovic said that the SPS’s current position, where it was choosing which coalition to join, was the result of a coincidence as, according to him, they do not have the democratic capacity to help Serbia enter the EU any quicker. He said that during Zoran Djindjic’s leadership of the DS, there had never been “any such stupid idea as to form a government with the SPS.” Zivkovic, who was one of Djindjic’s closest colleagues, dismissed the mere notion that Djindjic could have considered forming a government with Slobodan Milosevic’s SPS in 1993 at the height of the war and with inflation spinning out of control.

He said that during Zoran Đinđić’s leadership of the DS, there had never been “any such stupid idea as to form a government with the SPS.”
