SNS supports ratification of SAA

Belgrade, June, 15. 2010 (Source: Blic) - The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) stated that it supports the announcements that the SAA between Serbia and the EU will be unfrozen. SNS official Nikola Selaković said that this act could lead to positive changes for Serbian citizens. He said, however, that the government is still keeping citizens in the dark regarding the entire EU integration process. “SNS is asking the current government, which is presenting EU integration as its greatest success, whether corruption is in accordance with these integrations, as well as the increasing number of unemployed people in Serbia, and the increased number of people using the national soup kitchens,” Selaković said. SNS official Marko Đurić said that everything “the current government has shown in relations with the EU is a charade, because real relations are found in actions, not in rhetoric.” “SNS believes that the current government, other than being socially irresponsible, is slowing down Serbia’s progress towards the EU,” Đurić said. He said that new parliamentary elections are needed in Serbia, adding that the largest parties of the ruling coalition have already started campaigning.
