Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) V-P Dusan Bajatovic says the opposition were wrong to focus on obstructing parliament’s work. "Insistence on parliamentary obstruction as a model for fighting the authorities is much more of an attack on ordinary citizens than anything detrimental for the ruling coalition," he told the Monday issue of Novi Sad daily Dnevnik. SPS: Opposition wrong to obstruct In this context, the SPS official said that in a democratic society that Serbia aspired to, the opposition was also responsible for the general state of affairs. In his opinion, the arrest of Radovan Karadzic had not shaken the governing coalition, even though the SPS had not changed its opinion of the Hague Tribunal. “By adopting the Law on Cooperation with the Tribunal, Serbia and its organs undertook certain commitments that have to be respected. This coalition is not otherwise based around this issue, rather on the idea of Serbia coming out of the trenches dug by the domestic intellectual elite, and because of which the country has not moved forward in years,” the minister explained. Bajatovic said that a section of the Socialists' supporters were surprised by the cooperation between the SPS and the Democratic Party, but that everything would soon fall into its proper place. “We certainly need a year or two of participating in the government to show citizens what we really want and are capable of. We won’t give up on our aim to give the SPS a more modern look, to profile it as a modern leftist party,” he said.
