BELGRADE - Mihajlovic, Serbian Minister of Energy and Deputy Leader of the SNS, states no conditions to any of their potential coalition partners have been set. Zorana Mihajlovic, Serbian minister of energy and deputy leader of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), has stated that the SNS has not set conditions to any of its coalitional partners, or called for Ivica Dacic's withdraw from the Ministry of the Interior. Mihajlovic: SNS Sets no Conditions for Coalition Partners “We have not set conditions or requests to any coalitional partner, or called for Prime Minister Ivica Dacic's withdrawal from the Interior Ministry. I would say that someone has shifted the arguments, and that is not the SNS,” Mihajlovic said. Mihajlovic underlined that she disagrees with allegations that the SNS does not have enough competent members and for the reason has to engage foreigners. “These are the comments of the opposition, the one which has brought us into one of the most serious crisis. We are doing our best to appoint officials in line with the goals of the government and the situation we are facing. We are not sharing out seats to our friends,” she said. Mihajlovic underlined that she believes that despite the fact that SNS leader Aleksandar Vucic has said on a number of occasions that he will not assume the office of prime minister without elections, Serbia needs a young, energetic and hardworking man like him. When asked who will be the new parliament speaker, Mihajlovic said that outgoing speaker Nebojsa Stefanovic has introduced a new kind of behavior in the parliament's work, adding that she believes that he can hold many responsible offices. “The SNS is different from other parties, there is no single-mindedness, we say what we think and we change standards,” Mihajlovic said.
