“Ruling coalition did not discuss election date”

MP Nada Kolundzija, head of the ruling DS party-led parliamentary group, has stated that the ruling coalition did not discuss a date for the next elections. She added that it was "well-known that she believed that the elections should be held in the spring 2012, once the government had finished the work regarding European integration". “Ruling coalition did not discuss election date” ”The ruling parties’ position is that the government should secure the candidacy and allow the beginning of negotiations with the EU, keep the macroeconomic stability and improve citizens’ standard of living,” Kolundzija told reporters. She pointed out that the ruling coalition had not discussed holding both local and parliamentary elections at the same time, but added that it would be the most rational solution “because it would mean less energy and resources”. When asked whether there are differences in the ruling coalition ahead of the elections, Kolundzija said that it depended on each partner and whether the Democratic Party (DS) would invest its potential in achieving citizens’ interests. “The interest of all parties of the ruling coalition and the best recommendation for us is to do a good job and it’s the best campaign that rules out all disputes,” she pointed out.
