"We were ready for talks with (URS leader and Finance and Economy Minister Mlađan) Dinkić, although that is not popular today. We were trying to find a compromise and the best solution for Serbia," Vučić continued.
The SNS presidency met on Wednesday after Dačić, who heads the Socialists Party (SPS), on Tuesday afternoon announced that unless the Progressives agreed to leave the United Regions of Serbia (URS) out of the reshuffled cabinet, they had the option to call early elections, or form a new ruling coalition without the SPS.
Vučić said today that his party intended to see the government continue with the same partners, "because it is better if more heads are deciding," that the decision they made was "difficult", and that he asked the presidency not to opt for early elections.
"They accepted this unanimously. Elections are not the best solution for Serbia. Countless important contracts are ahead of us, the stability is important. The biggest problem, that often seems impossible to resolve, is the atmosphere in which the government is doing its work, the mocking of everything it does. Nothing's good enough, even when greatest experts are brought in," he was quoted as saying.
Vučić then said that he would "talk with foreigners" so they may "take over a few portfolios" in the reshuffled government, and that its composition would be known "after August 20".
Vučić also stressed that his party was "in agreement with Dinkić's demands which concerned the SNS portfolios," and that he expected Dinkić to attend the signing of the Jat Airways-Etihad strategic partnership agreement on Thursday.
Speaking about his relationship with Dačić and his Socialists, the SNS leader said that he never put the condition before Dačić - who serves as PM and interior minister - that he "must leave the ministry of police."
"And I could have done that, and that condition would have been accepted," he noted.
Vučić also said that during his last meeting with Dačić and Dinkić, he reasserted that he "did not wish to become prime minister without elections."

You know, comm parrison. there's this great tool these days. I think it's call the internets or something like that. It's really great for finding out information. Much better, in fact, (and this may be surprising) than asking random, unknown strangers to provide you with information.
Dijana, elections in themselves aren't really a big fiscal drain
The cost of the elections isn't that big cimpacted to many other ways serbia's budget is spent
The problem in an election is after the vote, the country enter instability as a government and as the personal interests of party leaders -- especially all the 1/2 seat party leaders -- come out
To someone elses point, even if the SNS gets as many votes as polls indicate that still means nothing if they still have to barter an agreement with other parties.

Babyface Vučić is tightening his grip on Batham City!
Yeah buddy, lets bring in more foreigners to serve their agenda.
After all, they won't be served better than by themselves.

What a strange party, the SNS. They have the majority, much more votes than SPS, but still they succumb to blackmail and pressure from Dacic.
