Dacic: There will be no transitional or crisis gov'ts, new gov't better option than elections

BELGRADE - Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said on Monday there would be no transitional, expert or crisis governments in the country and that his suggestion was that, following the resignation of PM Milos Vucevic, a new government should be formed as it was better to avoid early elections.

Speaking to Prva TV, Dacic said there should be a regularity in terms of the mandates of significant institutions such as legislative and executive authorities and noted that the parliamentary majority was not under threat and that it was capable of forming a new government.

He said the opposition would "not be delighted" with a new government, and noted that even potential obstruction in parliament or violent attempts to threaten institutions would be no obstacle to forming a new government.

Asked what was more certain to happen - a new government or new elections - Dacic said he had not discussed the subject with President Aleksandar Vucic but that no one was able to come to power without elections and that he was certain there would be no transitional, expert or revolutionary governments and that Vucic, who he noted was the only one who had the powers to put forward a PM-designate, would not propose something like that.
