The Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) says an official Belgrade coalition agreement will be signed tomorrow with the Radicals (SRS) and the Socialists (SPS).

DSS: Belgrade agreement on Wednesday The DSS's press department says the signing will take place tomorrow at midday in the Kalemegdanska Terasa restaurant. However, even though the SPS in Belgrade has accepted a coalition agreement with the SRS and DSS-NS, no candidate for mayor has yet been mentioned. Following the decision of the Socialist Party of Serbia’s (SPS) local committee to adopt the proposed coalition agreement with the Serb Radical Party (SRS) and the Democratic Party of Serbia-New Serbia (DSS-NS) to form a government in Belgrade, SPS official Branko Ruzic told Fox TV that it was not important who became mayor, but that the manifesto was carried out. “We will know the identity of the Belgrade mayor once the city assembly confirms the candidate in a vote,” Ruzic said, adding that the SPS’s local committee had confirmed the identity of its councilors, and its proposal for the local assembly’s speaker. “That is a personal proposal that will be up to the party presidency,” the SPS official explained. The SRS’s candidate for mayor, Aleksandar Vucic, said that personal solutions were not the most important thing, and that he would be mayor if that was the wish of the councilors. “I am sure we will sign the agreement on Wednesday. We’ve tried to put the interests of Belgrade’s citizens as the first priority. We are convinced that we will be able to show that we can do the work, and that we can move Belgrade forward,” Vucic said. G17 Plus official Vlajko Senic said that it did not seem logical for a deal to have been made between the SPS, the SRS, and DSS-NS in Belgrade, and not to have determined a candidate for mayor. Senic said that there was no political will for creating one coalition at local level in Belgrade and another at state level. He said that several SPS officials were being threatened and blackmailed over private affairs and being pressured politically.
