"Cabinet won't be composed of one party"

"I think that for the first time we have a real plan and a vision for the Serbian economy and the future, we will not have any figure from finances to hide," he said.

According to him, "many things changed in Serbia":

"Before, the most important thing was who will occupy which armchairs, where and with whom, which positions in enterprises and executive boards. Today, that is no longer talked about in Serbia."

Vučić stated that the previous government had "good results in foreign policy and the fight against corruption and made a big step towards the EU."

"I want, and the SNS wants that we rule and as broad as possible support, but not to be arrogant and powerful, but to unite Serbia and unite the entire public," said he.

Speaking about the composition of the new government, Vučić said it would include professionals and noted that he would like Lazar Krstić to remain at the helm of the Ministry of Finance.

Vučić said that "politics would no longer rule public companies."

Asked whether he would be able to, by June, resolve disputes related to a new law on labor with disgruntled employers and trade unions, Vučić said: "I hope so, but I do not believe so."

"We are talking with the unions, we want to talk with them. We are not adopting anything against anyone, but for the good of the country," said the leader of the Progressives.

Vučić announced the possibility of abolishing the solidarity tax, but also announced salary cuts in the public sector. As he pointed out, "pensions will not be touched."

The SNS leader also said that the private sector needed to be strengthened. "We need to teach people that it is better to go to the private sector than to the public. A person who wants to make money should go to the private sector, not the public," explained he.

Vučić noted that surveys have shown "a high level of ant-reform capacity" in Serbia, but that his team was "ready for reforms, because that means well-being."

"A survey that has been done on this subject of whether Serbs were willing to accept reforms, shows that only 15 percent of people would," Vučić said.

Speaking about the trial of recently arrested suspected drug boss Darko Šarić, he said he expected it to be "efficient."

Asked whether the trial would be "politically delicate," Vučić said it "certainly would," but added that he "cannot see why he would interested in that, because it is up to the court to assess what is relevant and what is not."

Vučić also said that "great results" had been achieved in investigations into the murders of journalists.

Turning to the subject of the crisis that developed over Ukraine, Vučić, who is set to take over as prime minister in the new cabinet, said that Serbia "will not impose sanctions on Russia."

He explained that Serbia wants to join the European Union and wants good relations with the United States, "but does not want hostile relations with Russia."

"We have our own country and our own policy," Vučić said.

According ti him, he told this to EU's Catherine Ashton, as well as to ambassadors that he met with.

"I don't have three stories - one in Washington, one in Moscow and one in Brussels. We have the same story everywhere - that Serbia is going to Europe, that Serbia is on a pro-European path, that Serbia will not harm its relations with Russia, that it will not establish hostile relations with Russia and will not impose sanctions on Russia, Serbia wants good and friendly relations with the United States. A clean position," concluded Vučić.
