The session was chaired by President Aleksandar Vučić, who arrived at the headquarters of the Progressives just before 5 pm.

After the session, the member of the Presidency of the SNS, Igor Mirović, addressed the audience.

"We have made a decision, and that is to invite the citizens of Serbia to go to the referendum," said SNS Presidency member Mirovic.

As he stated, there was a lively discussion on that topic, but they made a decision by a large majority.

According to the President of the Provincial Government, he hopes that the citizens will respond en masse and support the Constitutional Amendments.

"We expect the vast majority of citizens to go to the referendum. This is an opportunity to strengthen the independence of the judiciary, and these changes mean primarily benefits to the citizens of Serbia, meaning more efficient judiciary, primarily in the field of justice in the future and citizens' rights", he added.

As he stated, they also discussed issues that are important when it comes to the elections in April.

"We are facing presidential, parliamentary elections, and several local parliamentary elections. Today, we have clearly outlined those important political and social issues that we are proud of, as when it comes to the actions of the president, government, other levels of government. We can say that we are had significant results in all areas of life", he said. Mirović added that this is a guarantee that he will come out with a program in the upcoming elections, which will offer new directions of development, and the continuation of the process that we have witnessed so far.

"This month, we will go out once again, because we have yet to hold talks with coalition partners," said Mirović.

He added that they discussed many issues at the session today, and added that they were satisfied with the results that Serbia had achieved.

"The results are visible and measurable, and we see that we will have continuity and even better results in the coming period," he said.

He said that they had made the decision for the citizens to go to the referendum, and that the party's unity on that issue had been established.

Speaking about the coronavirus, as well as going to the referendum, Mirović states that the numbers are difficult when it comes to the number of infected, adding that the state will do its best to adjust the safest possible way of voting at all polling stations.

"I am convinced that there should be no fear," he said.
