Government "will have to be most serious"

Government "will have to be most serious"

Nikolić said that that the prime minister-in-waiting, Aleksandar Vučić, was aware of that, adding that he is confident that Vučić is able to choose the right people who can follow his energetic lead.

After visiting the household of Dimitrije Margan in the village of Deliblato, northern Serbia, Nikolić voiced his desire for the people in Serbia "to finally feel they can live normally like everyone else."

“In these most difficult possible conditions, the government has a great chance to stay remembered as the one that has fulfilled the wishes of the people. If somehow it fails in that I do not know how we will be able to go on. Let all those who are to take oaths before the members of parliament by the end of the month now reconsider if they are ready to accept the big job and responsibilities and if they are aware that it is no longer just the honor of being an MP, minister or any kind of state official,” Nikolić said.

To assume responsibility now is an obligation and honor is for some other times, he said.

Nikolić said that he and incoming prime minister Vučić discussed the goals, plans and programs drawn up by the SNS leader, and also the scale of priority for actions to be taken in different areas.

He added, however, that these talks did not touch on the resolution on Kosovo and Metohija that he had proposed.

"We are bound to deal with the Kosovo issue and we will be thinking about it and the new resolution seriously when the government is formed," he said.

Nikolić said that a lot has happened in the past, things such as the Albanians’ announcing to form their own army and intending to pass a law under which voting rights will be had only by those who have documents issued by Priština.

"It is time the Serbian parliament started discussing the situation in Kosovo and a relevant plan of action for the government,"Nikolić said.
