SDA leader Sulejman Ugljanin says it’s logical for his party to replace the SRS and DSS in power in Novi Pazar soon. “There’s no political logic in the parties of Mladjan Dinkic, Boris Tadic and Rasim Ljajic entering a coalition at local level with the Serb Radical Party (SRS) and Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) in order to squeeze us out, when we’ve played a crucial role in helping form a parliamentary majority in Serbia. That can’t survive,” Ugljanin told daily Novosti. "SDA to replace SRS, DSS in Novi Pazar" After the municipal elections of May 11, Ugljanin’s Bosniak Party of Democratic Action (SDA) lost power in Novi Pazar after over a decade in power, and was replaced by Ljajic’s Sandzak Democratic Party. Alongside the SDP in the local government are the Democratic Party (DS), G17 Plus, the SRS, and the DSS. “Dinkic told me that he would withdraw his councilors from that majority, and I expect Tadic to follow suit so as not to exacerbate inter-Bosniak division,” said the SDA leader, who headed the “Bosniak List for a European Sandzak” at the elections. He said that once that coalition collapsed at local level in Novi Pazar “the only logical solution would be for the two Bosniak lists to form a coalition and divide powers on equal terms.” “Ourselves and Ljajic’s party could each give the Serbian list 15 percent of seats. That’s a recipe for bringing both policies and citizens closer,” Ugljanin claimed. Asked whether he would be able to surmount his conflict with Ljajic, the SDA replied: “Conflict is the wrong word. I‘ve never been in a conflict with Ljajic. We just haven’t worked together politically. But, the posts we occupy today do not allow for any disagreement or lack of cooperation. We cannot be at loggerheads. We’ll work as a team, and that’s what’s needed.” Sulejman Ugljanin (Beta, archive)
