The former economy minister and one of PM Mirko Cvetkovic's deputies, Mladjan Dinkic, says the appointment of Cvetkovic was the ruling party's "biggest mistake". Dinkic heads G17 Plus - a party whose ministers are still in the government even though he was sacked by Cvetkovic earlier this year. Dinkic is also president of the United Regions of Serbia (URS). Ex-minister identifies ruling party's "biggest mistake" The reform capacity of the government is low, he told the Belgrade-based daily Danas, "because it is not being led by adequate people". At the same time, Dinkic announced that URS would start "election campaign" on October 2 in Belgrade". No date has been set for the next parliamentary elections in Serbia. But Dinkic said the country faces two principal problems, and listed those as "centralism and partocracy", and added that this "must change". He promised that "his party's first step" would be to "depoliticize and professionalize all public and utility companies". Another issue that Dinkic stated was making him "feel bad" was when it seemed that "everything good that needs to be done for Serbia came as a result of pressure from the outside, from the EU, IMF, World Bank." Dinkic, who held top positions in several governments and the central bank since 2000, and has been an MP since he was sacked from the government, said that the leadership of the government "was not proactive, but rather reacting to demands, pressures from the outside, strikes". "There are no new ideas, there is no movement toward problems. I did take part in this government, I was disappointed while I was a member, and I am even more disappointed now," said he. But it was the choice of Mirko Cvetkovic that was "the biggest mistake the Democratic Party made in the past ten years", asserted Dinkic. At the same time he noted that Serbia's president and DS party leader, Boris Tadic, "would make at least ten times better PM". Mladjan Dinkic (Tanjug, file)
