NOVI SAD Novi Sad Mayor Igor Pavlicic has accused the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and its partners of trying to take the power in the city by force. He told Novi Sad-based daily Dnevnik that posters with his picture and writing “He is done!” had been put up all over the city he lived in with his family. Progressives want to “take power by force” Pavlicic pointed out that the SNS and its partners were “spreading political hysteria” that was hurting the image and stability of the city. “They are only doing it so the parties that rule on the republic level could take over the power and share the winnings. Well, you cannot take the power by force. What’s the point of the election then,” the Novi Sad mayor stressed. Unknown perpetrators took down a plate with the name of Zorana Djindjica St. in Novi Sad last night and wrote chauvinistic graffiti against the mayor. The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) Presidency decided at a meeting on Saturday that the local self-governments should be modeled after the ruling coalition on the republic level wherever possible.
