Opposition party supports unions

The opposition DSS party backs striking unions and believes that early elections are the only solution for the social, economic and other problems in Serbia. This is according to party spokesman Petar Petkovic, who spoke on Monday in Belgrade. Opposition party supports unions Petkovic said that DSS supports the education, justice, police and health unions because their strike is the best indicator of the current situation in Serbia, which is mired in poverty and hardship. “Instead of seeking for ways in which it could help citizens, the Serbian government claims that it does not understand the reasons for unions' strike,” Petkovic said, adding that the citizens are on strike because they are unemployed and hungry, which are the results of the government's policy that Europe has no alternative. Petkovic said that the reshuffled cabinet of Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic cannot be better than the previous one, since it is based on the same wrong policy, and added that early parliamentary elections "are the solution which would lead to creation of statehood policy".
