BELGRADE Vojvodina Executive Council Chairman Bojan Pajtic has stated that there will be no early provincial elections and that regular elections will be held in 2016. However, Pajtic did not rule out a possibility of early parliamentary elections. “Elections in Vojvodina will be held in 2016” According to him there are three ways that could lead to early provincial elections. “If the government sends a request to the Vojvodina assembly to call the elections, but this will not happen. The second way is for the assembly to dismiss the Executive Council in a no-confidence vote and the third possibility is to pass a new Constitution and call elections on all levels, which I think will not happen either. Therefore, the elections will be held in 2016,” he explained. Commenting on possible early parliamentary elections, Pajtic, who is also a Democratic Party (DS) deputy leader, noted that the ruling parties had already discussed the issue and that there were some announcements that the elections could be held in the fall. According to him, it is natural to have “latent” instability in coalitions in which one needs to have two dozen parties in order to form a parliamentary majority. However, Pajtic said that the DS was convinced that the current government “has no capacity to improve Serbian citizens’ standard of living, reform the political system, public sector and public companies. When asked about the atmosphere in the DS after the expulsion of Dusan Petrovic and Vuk Jeremic, he said that Serbia citizens had more important things to worry about at the moment than what was going on in the DS “because their destiny does not depend on it”.
