In an interview with daily Večernje Novosti, he said that the parliamentary session would begin with the question of who killed demonstrator Ranko Panić, as well as the arrest of Radovan Karadžić.
Nikolić said that the session could continue either once a report was published on Karadžić and the meeting in Belgrade, or an emergency session could be called with one item on the agenda—ratification of the gas deal with Russia.
According to the SRS deputy leader, the session would be over in an hour, and then the Radicals could set their own themes.
In response to reports that the ruling coalition could prevent obstruction of parliament’s work, he said that “it isn’t the first time that democracy in parliament has been suppressed and that they’ve threatened us.“
Nikolić said that SRS MPs had been expelled from the parliamentary chamber in the past, and that if it happened again, he would try to be the last of 82 MPs.
Asked what would then happen, the SRS deputy leader replied that he would bring the people in front of parliament, “and then it’s a question of whether there will be any session at all.“
“We’d have no other way to fight. And remember how they fought when much less injustice was done to them,“ he added.
Nikolić said that it was completely clear that the opposition should cooperate closely, as that way they would be harder to break, and this would be “the best response to the dictatorship“ of Boris Tadić.
The SRS deputy leader said that he was convinced that the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and New Serbia (NS) would not be swallowed up in the SRS by working together, and that every party would preserve its own identity.
“I will propose that we stand on one list, and it’s all the same to me whether the list is headed by the SRS. That way, we’d show Serbia that a road to recovery exists. If NS, after years of cooperation with Koštunica, hasn’t been swallowed by his party, why would the DSS be swallowed up by the SRS by cooperating with us,“ he pointed out.
Nikolić said that he was unsure whether the new government would fall quickly.
The SRS deputy leader said that he would seek to bring Interior Minister Ivica Dačić to account “for all the teargas and smoke bombs that they threw at us. Dačić began his mandate as minister by killing a man and we’ll call him to account.“
“We filmed it. We’ll ask those who dare to screen it. You’ll see, among other things, a policeman beating [SRS Secretary-General] Aleksandar Vučić senseless as he’s lying on the ground.“
Well ZK according to the definition Slobodan Milosevic was much closer to a dictator. Some of the concepts, my personal favourite; cult of personality (you know pictures on the wall, badges, the single heroic figure, such as Seselj). Then we have abuse of elections (Slobodan Milosevic), repression of political opponents (Slobodan Milosevic), repression of free media (Slobodan Milosevic / SRS government, with SRS in charge of media).

ZK dictatorship? That sounds like desperate language to me. What is the definition of a dictatorship?

I think it is a good idea from Toma's perspective. He might stand a better chance of ridding the party of the Seselj loyalists through moderating SRS with DSS. Although one can never be sure with Kostunica, he could easily betray Toma as he did last time, when he did a number on him for Speaker.
From a DSS perspective the idea is bad news, the party will be swallowed. Frankly though, who cares? Its not like that party has a chance on its own any more, so they might as well play a more useful role for Serbia in moderating a much, much larger party.

How long will Mr. Nikolic takes Serbian population for a bunch of dumb idiots? How long will Mr. Nikolic use lines said in Hollywood movies to make his speeches of hatred and of agressivity? How long will Nikolic speak of the president as a dictator when the SRS is in a big part responsible for making this country called serbia falls very low... For making the population of this country lose everything. Why doesn't Mr Nikolic instead explain us how come his party has access to money that was stolen to the population and protected by russians? This money that was stolen to Serbians when the Communism fell. When will Mr Nikolic presents to us his plan for creating new jobs in Serbia? so families can have bread on their table. When will Mr Nikolic presents to us a concrete plan to keep Serbia stable? When did Mr Nikolic started directing movies in which his great right hand, Aleksandar Vucic is trying to deserve an oscar by trying to look like he is being beaten by a policeman? When will this joke cease? This is really becoming ridiculous. Those Radicals are really taking Serbian population for a bunch of retards and it would be really nice that they stop that.. But I think they will never, because when comes the time to speak of serious matters and when come times to show a bit of intellect, the SRS is not anymore able to say anything since they are not qualified enough.

SRS are the only people left, along with DSS/NS that are a chance of making Serbia a strong nation in the long term future. If Serbia eventually gets into the EU with this government, I think that only Belgrade and its surroundings shall be left as Serbia in the future. Serbia needs a strong leader like Putin, although unfortunately it seems as thought the weak are the only ones that get into power. I feel so,so much for the poor people that are once again being blinded by a government that is once again 'conducting policies in Serbia's interest'. Sigh.

I'm not sure uniting under the same umbrella is a good idea Tomislav but I believe some co-ordinated action between the opposition to keep Frankenstein on the operating table is the best possible move.
This dictatorship must not be allowed to function and must face the consequences of selling out Serbia. Russia and China are getting stronger while the West is about to capitulate so keep the pressure high.
