Belgrade, Dec. 15 2009 ( Serbia Today) - According to the Serbian daily Vecernje Novosti, the oppositrion Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) leader Tomislav Nikolic expressed his intention soon to call for new Parliamentary elections.
“ The time is running out for the Democratic Party (DP) . I will ask for the elections to be held next year. The Parliament is illegitimate, because it does not reflect the distribution of power on the political scene,” Mr. Nikolić said.
According to him, the overwhelming victory of his Party at the local elections in the Belgrade’s municipality of Vozdovac, is the best example of the true feelings of the voters in Serbia, and the beginning of SNP road towards political victory.
He expressed his willingness to share political power with (Democratic Party) DS as a minority partner, as well as with the DSS but only if DSS leader Vojislav Kostunica stop his opposition towards Serbian European integration.
Mr. Nikolic was a leader of the conservative and nationalistic Serbian Radical Party (SRS) until last year, when in the party coup he broke away, formed a new party (SNP) and took significant number of the Parliamentary representatives from the SRS with him. The political program of the SNP is much more moderate than that of the SRS. By one, they support Serbian European integration.
As a moderate nationalist, he appeals to a large number of Serbian voters disappointed with the broken promises of the ruling coalition, abuses of power, corruption scandals and harsh economic times. It is realistic to expect that in the potential Parliamentary elections his Party would indeed win.
