"Serbia lost great fighter for social justice"

Outgoing Prime Minister Ivica Dačić, who is also the leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia - a party allied with Krkobabić's Party of Pensioners (PUPS) - said that Serbia has lost a great fighter for left- wing ideas and social justice who cared for the unprotected and marginalized for years.

Serbia is bidding farewell to a man who has taught many politicians, colleagues and friends that sincerity and modesty represent lasting values in life and politics, Dačić said.

"Krkobabić brought unusually high levels of seriousness to every task he handled and is today hugely credited with preserving the social status and dignity of pensioners, refugees and the needy, "Dačić also said.

Milan Krkobabić, the son of Jovan Krkobabić, thanked those attending and Party of United Pensioners of Serbia deputy leader Borislav Kovačević also bid farewell to the late party leader and minister.

The commemorative session was attended by most government ministers and many MPs.

As previously announced, Jovan Krkobabić will be buried in a private ceremony.

A book of condolences has been opened in the Serbian parliament building.
