LDP leader calls for creation of modern Serbia

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leader Cedomir Jovanovic says the U-Turn movement is more than a coalition because it does not cause rifts in the society. He said the invitation to leaders of the two biggest parties to work together to create a modern Serbia was something the whole country felt but the leaders of the Democratic Party (DS) and the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) were ignoring. LDP leader calls for creation of modern Serbia "We have hit a wall, and their responsibility for this is enormous. Serbia decides how to proceed, because this cannot continue. They are dividing Serbia on made-up, personal issues, just to hide the similarity of their policies," Jovanovic told daily Vecernje novosti. He stressed he was not interested in a coalition between the two parties but that he was asking their leaders to admit the truth and not offer a substitute for real life by creating a "DS Serbia" and an "SNS Serbia." The LDP leader believes turnout for the election will be considerable. "It would not be the first time that the Serbian people showed much more maturity than the political leaders," Jovanovic was quoted as saying. Cedomir Jovanovic (Beta, file) Tanjug Vecernje novosti
