DS: No row over PM nomination

DS Vice-President Bojan Pajtic says that there was no conflict within the party regarding the nomination of the candidate for prime minister. He said that the media had blown the entire situation out of all proportion. DS: No row over PM nomination “There was an exchange of different opinions, which is normal in any party that is democratically oriented,” Pajtic told daily Vecernje Novosti. He added that Mirko Cvetkovic, who was given the mandate to form the new government “will surely take good and wise steps,” but added that it would not be easy because he would have to harmonize the views of representatives from 11 parties. Asked whether the Socialists’ participation in the Vojvodina provincial government was a concession for the formation of a democratic local government in Belgrade, Pajtic replied that “there have been nothing but negotiations up to this point.” He added that the demands of the Socialists in Vojvodina were focused on “one place in the Executive Council.” Bojan Pajtic (B92, archive)
