Brnabic: I see no victory in postponement of Belgrade city assembly session

NIS - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic said on Monday she saw no victory in a postponement of the constitutive session of the Belgrade city assembly as the opposition had merely wasted the people's time.

Earlier in the day, the session was postponed until March 1 due to a lack of quorum.

"Their (the opposition's) victories are always associated with losses for citizens and the people. I see no victory in the postponement of the constitutive session and the fact there was no rush to form the authorities in an important local self-government unit, or any local self-government unit. I see no victory in wasting the time of the whole city and all the people who voted for any political option," Brnabic told reporters in Nis.

She said she found it incredible the only policy of the opposition and the Serbia Against Violence coalition was one of violence.

"Their name is Serbia Against Violence and their only policy is violence, and they have demonstrated that in the national parliament and in the (Belgrade) city assembly," Brnabic said.

She noted that opposition representatives had no plan or any idea whatsoever except blockades, chaos and violence.

"I want to say again with full responsibility that we who were on the Aleksandar Vucic - Serbia Must Not Stop electoral list or the Belgrade Must Not Stop list did not steal a single vote. There was no electoral fraud," Brnabic said.

She said there were several fundamental indicators that there had been no electoral fraud, including, above all, that the opposition had first "waited to see the electoral results."

"When they saw that they did not win or that they do not have a majority, they started shouting 'It was a fraud!'" Brnabic said.
