The debate on the new government continues in the Parliament of Serbia, and the members of the ruling majority said that the opposition's demand for a transitional government will not be met, and that criticism is welcome, but should be distinguished from anarchy.

Jovanov: There will be no transitional government

Milenko Jovanov, responding to the accusations of Stefan Janjić, Serbia center SRCE, said that there will be no transitional government.

"When a lawyer allows himself to tell lies and say - well, I don't know if that's true, it's rumored. There won't be a transitional government because we're sitting here with people like this because we have to, but we'll never form a coalition with them. Your idea has failed. And your idea of ​​recovering from a political knockout is not going to work. Yesterday, you may be going back to the beginning. You can see that the opposition is to blame for this. This is not politics," he said.
