BELGRADE If Democratic Party (DS) leader Boris Tadic does not resign, there can be a rift among the Democrats, daily Blic writes. Blic points out that DS deputy leader Dragan Djilas does not want to run for party leader at the upcoming DS elections, adding that Tadic still has support of the majority of the DS Presidency members. Democratic Party could face rift, daily claims The only way that the Belgrade mayor sees himself as the new DS leader is if Tadic resigns, the daily claims. However, Tadic has stated that he has no intention of resigning from the party. The daily writes that there is a faction in the DS that would like to see Djilas as the party leader. Bearing in mind Tadic’s decision, a question of Djilas’ mayor office could be raised in the future, Blic writes. Media have reported that disputes inside the DS are incited by the fact that the party lost the parliamentary and presidential elections, by the Socialists’ decision to form the government with the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and by a public conflict between Djilas and Vuk Jeremic over the costs of Jeremic’s New York office. The media wrote that the DS was not satisfied with the election results and that its members believed that somebody should be held responsible. Only DS official and Indjija Mayor Goran Jesic said publicly that he had expected Tadic to resign after the election defeat. On the other hand, a source from the DS told Blic that the only way for the party to stay united was for Tadic to resign as the party leader and take some other position, such as honorary leader, which would allow fair party elections.
