Istvan Pastor says he is standing for president to represent the voice of Serbia’s minorities. He said that there was no-one better to represent the minorities in Serbia than minority officials themselves. Pastor pledges to be voice of minorities “If we are talking about a Serbia where we would feel better than we feel today, we know how to say it best. None of these so-called democratic candidates can tell you, because they do not belong to a national minority,” said the Hungarian coalition’s presidential candidate. He said that while it was not realistic to expect him to reach the second round, he hoped to garner about 80,000 votes. “This number of votes and the manifesto I offer can serve as a basis for discussions which we will stress in the next round of elections,” Pastor said. He said that the Hungarian coalition would not give blind support to any democratic candidate that entered the second round. “The time of blind support and believing statements and promises is over. Our ambitions are to offer our manifesto to the democratic candidate that will enter the second round,” Pastor said. He added that the Hungarian coalition would publicly offer the manifesto, and that he expected the democratic candidate to publicly say what parts he accepted. “Depending on his answer, we will decide whether to support him or not. We believe that the publicly spoken word should carry more weight in Serbian politics. All we’re asking is for the candidate to say publicly what he thinks of this platform,” Pastor said. He said that inter-ethnic relations in Vojvodina were a lot better now than they had been several years ago. “Isolated incidents exist, but they are definitely not the norm,” Pastor said, adding that the law needed to come down hard on the culprits in such incidents. He added that Hungary’s recent accession to the Schengen visa regime had caused problems in communication between Vojvodina Hungarians and their motherland, adding that only Serbia’s accession to the Schengen white list could help solve this problem.
