An expensive government is one that fails to deliver the results citizens expect, and time will tell how much this government will cost, says DS MP Nada Kolundzija. Kolundzija said that she expected MPs to vote today on the Laws on the Government and Ministries. "Only ineffective govts. are costly" Speaking to B92, she said that there was no need to rush, and that Serbia would soon have a new government. Although there has been considerable criticism over the last few days that the new government will be too big and too expensive, the DS whip said that the number of ministries did not mean that costs would be higher. “We’re under pressure to form a ministry in every important area, and we know this from past experience, that’s not party political pressure, rather certain sections of society who feel that their problems can only be solved if they have their own ministry. So, it’s not a question of satisfying coalition partners,“ she insisted. Her Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) counterpart Milos Aligrudic said that it was possible to detect from the two laws that there was, as he put it, a weighty political agreement between the DS and the Socialists to help them overcome their past differences. “The producer of this whole play is neither [Boris] Tadic, [Mladjan] Dinkic, or [Ivica] Dacic, but those in whose interests it is to have a government that would in the early stages simply allow the executive authorities to take certain steps that would allow two things—firstly, Kosovo’s independence to be recognized in an implicit manner; and secondly, once again implicitly, the EULEX mission to be allowed to function, as something that supports the Ahtisaari Plan,“ said Aligrudic. Kolundzija said that she hoped once a government was formed at republic level, talks could begin on forming a coalition with the Socialists at Belgrade local level.
