After Nikolic?s meeting with Prime Minister Ivica Daicic on Tuesday evening, the Office of the Serbian President issued a statement saying that the people of Serbia expect the state to create a better life for them and the government to create conditions the same as in all modern countries.
The coalition government, which was formed one year ago, set as its goal to resolve the accumulated economic and social problems, issues that have previously remained unsolved for years, the statement said.
Although the Serbian government showed excellent results in many areas in the first year of its term, the situation in the country remains quite complex, and it turned out that not all actors in the Serbian government took careful account of the promises given to the citizens, the statement said.
It is time for the adoption of very important decisions for the future of Serbia and its citizens, it is time to show that the government is accountable to the people, and that a minister and his party cannot be more important than the interests of the ordinary citizen, the president said.
It turns out that certain ministers, whose primary concern should have been economic and social recovery of the country, still consider themselves to be indispensable, although it is obvious that they have not showed the results that they promised to the citizens, the statement reads.
The Serbian president urged the government, particularly the biggest party in the government, the SNS, to bring the reshuffle to an end as soon as possible and to continue working on reforms.
The president sent a special message to the Serbian Progressive Party to rise above the party interests that are telling it to go to new elections because of the reputation it now enjoys among the people.
?Let all those who consider Serbia's well-being to be their most important goal, let us all together try to maintain the stability of the institutions of the government that should lead us further on our European way. There is always time for elections,? the statement says.
Nikolic met with Dacic on Tuesday evening after Dacic announced that the government "will continue without the United Regions of Serbia party (URS)" and that Finance and Economy Minister Mladjan Dinkic and another two minister from the URS will no longer be members of his cabinet.
Dacic, who is the leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), spoke about the results of the coalition negotiations on a government reshuffle, explaining that if Aleksandar Vucic's Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) fails to support this, early elections would be called, "or some coalition will be formed without the SNS."
Dinkic then held a news conference at which he accused Dacic of being afraid of the elections because he wanted to save this position as prime minister.
?He is afraid for his position, given the support Aleksandar Vucic enjoys. He actually sees Vucic as prime minister but he wants to keep that position formally at least for a while, Dinkic said.
Dinkic claims that Dacic allegedly told him that his position of the prime minister would be threatened should there be no changes at the helm of the ministry of Finance and the Economy. According to Dinkic, should Vucic?s SNS party be given both portfolios, there will be no excuse to call early election.
Serbian coalition government was formed on 27 July 2012 and it is comprised of parties gathered around Vucic?s SNS party, Dacic?s SPS party and the URs, led by Mladan Dinkic
