Belgrade: The Democratic Party (DS) leader Boris Tadic stated yesterday that a coalition between the SRS, the SPS, and the DSS-NS would lead to incoherent and anti-national policies.

He said, “This coalition that’s being talked about at Belgrade and state level will not help extract the country from its long-running crisis, and we would be back to dealing with problems from the 1990s.”

He explained that coalition would lead to anti-national policies, pointing out that a real national government would lead Serbia towards EU membership, and thus finally solve the Serbian national question.

Tadic said, Serbia does not need “a national or pro-European government, those are the wrong names,” adding that “we need a socially responsible government, because such a government is both national and pro-European.” He said that a socially responsible government would apply real policies, set high political goals, and be prepared to respond to all challenges.
