United Serbia (JS) leader Dragan Markovic says the coalition grouped round the SPS will form a governing coalition with the Democratic Party (DS) next week. While the Associated Party of Pensioners (PUPS) says that talks with the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and Serb Radical Party (SRS) are not over, but have just come to a standstill, Markovic says that these talks are finished as far as JS is concerned. JS: Ruling coalition with DS next week “There’ll be no new elections, a government will be formed next week,“ he told journalists after the constitutive session of parliament. The JS leader expects the coalition grouped around the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) to assume a common position on forming a parliamentary majority with the DS either today or tomorrow. He said that the coalition's view was that the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) should not be annulled, and that JS believed it should be ratified. “Since Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) leader Vojislav Kostunica has said that the SAA should be annulled, negotiations with his party are over as far as JS is concerned,” Markovic stressed. He said that the text of the SAA was the same as it was in November 2007, and wondered why DSS experts had not put forward any argument about the harm it could bring to Serbia back then. Markovic reiterated that even before the election, the JS was against recalling ambassadors from countries that had recognized Kosovo’s unilaterally declared independence. He said that his party believed that Serbia should become a member of the EU, and that Security Council Resolution 1244 provided guarantees that its territorial integrity would be respected. “For us that’s Holy Scripture, and we will not give up on that,” Markovic underlined. Markovic said that his party did not have any special demands concerning ministerial posts, but that it insisted on further decentralization of power. Dragan Markovic (Beta, archive)

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
