Most of Serbian citizens do not trust political parties and they would gladly replace both the authorities and the opposition, analyst Zoran Stojiljkovic says. He told B92 that polls showed that the citizens had a negative opinion about all political parties and that they “would replace both the authorities and the opposition if they only could”. Serbians don't trust politicians, analysts say “The election campaign is completely focused on social-economic topics,” the Faculty of Political Sciences professor noted. “In my opinion, this is the first campaign that is fully focused on the social-economic topics and only those issues play some role,” Stojiljkovic stressed. He said, however, that “there is almost no division to the left, right and center parties, with an exception of a slightly liberally harder Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)”. Stojiljkovic noted that social-economic position, status and education almost played no role in the political orientation. “What is important for everyone to know is that the budget is empty, that there is no buying of the social peace and that even if the economy is somewhat revived the employment rate will not be increased in another two or three years,” he explained. Center for New Policy Director Vladimir Todoric told B92 that “we cannot just talk about the crisis of parties’ political integrity” and that “nobody trusts anybody in Serbia anymore”. “Nobody trusts anybody, the political system is such that you first need to see what the role of an ordinary party is, then the politicians’, the freedom they can have within the political system in order to raise the personal responsibility question,” he stressed. Todoric added that the problem was the fact that the Serbian political system “does not have a possibility of an individual political responsibility” and that “an external control was necessary, which could now come from the European Council”.
