EU’s order to repeal blank resignation letters was crucial for the parties to finally renounce absolute control over their MPs, say reports. Even though this would logically mean the change of the elections system that would allow skilled and respectable individuals to make their way through, most of the parties are against it. Tadic favors mixed election system One of the reasons it is easier for MPs to hide behind their leaders is the fact that most of them are undeservedly enjoying the privileges. Not even Boris Tadic, leader of the largest party, is powerful enough to change that, Belgrade-based daily Blic writes. “President Tadic is advocating a mixed election system because he thinks that it is the best for Serbia at the moment. A larger number of MPs would be directly elected that way. Only the Serbian president is directly elected today,” representatives of the president’s cabinet told the daily, adding that they were aware that “citizens who did not circle the names of their representatives’ in parliament feel that those sitting there are not directly responsible to them and they see it as a problem”. The Democratic Party (DS) leader believes that “the number of those who will aside from full legality also have full legitimacy to make decisions needs to be increased, because the number of those who will personally be responsible for their actions to the citizens will that way increase”. “Today we often don’t know who is responsible for what and it looks like President Tadic is responsible for everything that is happening in the country. However, majority if parties need to agree in order for the change of system to happen and a debate in which intellectuals, experts and politicians would take part would be useful,” the daily’s source from the president’s cabinet was quoted as saying. The DS leader also supported the new law on local elections which would introduce a mixed elections system that favors individuals, provided that there are such individuals in the parties, the daily writes.
