He said that the DS, of which he is the vice-president, is a party of civic orientation and that the principle of creating ethnic autonomy is completely foreign and unacceptable.
Pajtić expects that parliament will adopted a new statute in the fall for Vojvodina, which he states will not go against the Serbian constitution.
Speaking of the possibilitz of renaming of the current executive council to "government", Pajtić said that the name this body has now comes from the communist period and that it sounds obsolete.
Asked whether the price of the Ddemocrats' cooperation with the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) will be the return of Slobodan Milošević's widow Mira Marković to Serbia, Pajtić said that he has "yet to hear such demands from the Socialists".
"The agreement with the SPS, in whose creation I am not participating, cannot be based on the past, when we were angry opponents. It must confirm, once and for all times, that national interest are more important than personal and partisan ones," Pajtić said.
He added that he does not rule out cooperation with the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), "in several years, if the party changes its anti-European policies".
"He added that he does not rule out cooperation with the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), "in several years, if the party changes its anti-European policies"."
Thats ridicules. If DSS is anti-European its only because they are have reason to be, and they certainly do. Its obvious that the big shots in the EU (Germany,France,UK) are running the show no matter who says that those in the EU are all "equals", sorry but thats a load of BS. And in turn their drive to make Kosovo independent "because they can't admit to their mistake in 1999" reflects exactly why DSS and other conservative parties are suspicious of the EU.
Lastly Serbia doesn't have to join the EU to consider itself "European". Its just a bloody continent after all not some religion.
As for Vojvodina I would rather support more administrative powers to municipalities rather than provinces. Provinces are reserved for larger countries like Canada, Serbia doesn't come close in that regard.
