JS leader: EU integration with Kosovo

United Serbia (JS) leader Dragan Markovic says that his party is in favor of Serbia entering the EU with Kosovo. He said that the SPS-PUPS-JS coalition, of which his party is a member, should make a coalition with parties that believed that Kosovo should be a part of Serbia in order for her to join the EU. JS leader: EU integration with Kosovo Markovic said that his party also expected any future coalition partners to accept the principles of social justice, an economically stable country, assistance for every man and woman, and the battle to counteract the negative natality rate that his party had stood for during the election campaign. He told a press conference that there was no future for Serbia without cooperation with Europe, whether Serbia liked to admit it or not. “Of course we cannot forget 1999 and the NATO aggression, but life goes on, and we must devote attention to young people in Serbia, to bring investors in and create new jobs,” Markovic stressed. The JS leader said that he expected the government to be formed in the next month because Serbia did not have time to wait, and it had to bring as many investors into the country as possible, and boost further growth. Asked if, based on his personal views, he was leaning more to a coalition with the Democratic Party, Markovic said that he had not said that, and that his coalition would take a united decision on whom to form a coalition with, adding that he “will never, as a man of principle, abandon the coalition for any kind of offer of a position.” Dragan Markovic (FoNet archive)
