In 15 days, the proposal of the new ministers
Prime Minister Miloš Vučević said today that within 15 days he will propose new ministers of construction, transport and infrastructure and internal and external trade to the National Assembly, since Goran Vesić and Tomislav Momirović resigned from those posts
Vucevic said that after that the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić, will schedule a session where new ministers will be elected.
"And it will be done, it's not a problem at all."
What is most important for citizens is that the ministries work, the state must continue to work. As citizens, as a nation, as a people, we have to go further,'' Vucevic told TV Prva without specifying who the candidates for the new ministers are.
He added that he appointed Darko Glišić and Andrijana Mesarović as "managers" of those ministries until the election of new ministers.
When asked about the session of the National Assembly scheduled for today, Vučević said that MPs in the parliament will vote on the entire agenda that was before them on Monday, when the incident and physical confrontation between opposition and government representatives took place in the assembly hall.
"Unfortunately, we have those ugly scenes and images from the Serbian parliament. I think we had more than 50 items on the agenda, if they (the opposition) had used all the rights that the rules of procedure allow them, the discussion would have lasted until the end of next week. It was possible to talk about literally anything and everything, but there was no will for that, instead, there was a will for such scenes and violence,'' Vucevic said.
He stated that it is good that the Serbian parliament debates and presents the strongest arguments, but that he cannot understand and justify someone coming to fight and not allowing others to speak.
Vučević said that the violence and chaos in the Serbian Parliament started on Monday when MP Radomir Lazović and some other MPs of the opposition entered the space reserved for members of the government, not MPs.
"He comes in, ostensibly to ask something the President of the National Assembly, but in fact he comes in with all those stickers to the ministers, he starts to stick those stickers next to me, next to the President of the National Assembly, that is, he starts pushing and the whole chaos ensued,'' Vucevic said.
He added that the Speaker of the Parliament tried to continue the session and gave him the floor to explain the budget, to talk about the increase in wages in the public sector from 8 to 11 percent, about the largest ever budget for agriculture, the largest military budget in the last few decades, the continuation of big projects, but the opposition did not want to listen to it.
Vučević said that during his explanation of the Budget Law, Marinika Tepić used the whistle just 20 centimeters from him and added that the opportunity to talk about the most important things for the citizens of Serbia was missed, stressing that the Budget Law is the most important law that the Government can suggest, because it is the question of what you will do next year.
Prime Minister also said that upon entering the session, one could feel the atmosphere that general madness would follow and that the opposition's need to cause an incident was evident from the first moment.
"Marinika Tepić told me: 'We will not beat you right now, we will beat you later.' Djilas said he was throwing a bottle of wine at me. I guess you are going to the Assembly with laws and amendments,'' Vucevic said.
He added that the opposition politically abused the tragedies in Ribnikar and Mladenovac, but that there was a time gap, and that in the case of the accident in Novi Sad, everything was measured in hours.
"Someone said this is an opportunity, a trigger for us, fuel not to determine who is guilty, but to come to power," Vucevic said.
He added that two ministers resigned, the director of the Railway Infrastructure and that the prosecutor's office launched an investigation in a very short period of time.
"But someone said: 'it doesn't satisfy us at all, it doesn't interest us either.' Now they want to replace the prime minister. And in fact, they want to replace Vučić and get a transitional government.
"So if we have elections, as Savo Manojlović said, after Easter 2025. Their goal is to replace Vučić, that's why they had his poster in the Assembly," said Vučević.
He noticed that the opposition no longer mentions those who died in the tragedy in Novi Sad and that they did not attend any funerals, while he visited several families with the mayor, and President Vučić was in Kovilj.
"It is the most difficult thing you can do, to enter the house to ask and support. Those are the key things, someone wants a war in the streets, and I think our task is to work. Serbia must continue to develop. Do we need to go to an even greater calamity in order to grieve enough? You will have shifts, changes, it can always be discussed in the parliament,'' Vucevic said.
He emphasized that Serbia must go further, to continue to develop further and added that from December 1 pensions were increased by 10.9 percent, and from January 1 salaries in the public sector from 8 to 11 percent, the highest in education 11 percent.
"The minimum wage, which is also a multiplier for many other things, was increased by 13.7 percent and covers the minimum consumer basket for the first time. The projection of the Ministry of Finance is that next year's GDP growth will be 4.2 percent, which means we are returning to the growth rates we had before COVID," Vučević stressed.
Vučević said that the damage in the Parliament caused by the opposition MPs on Monday will be paid by the citizens of Serbia, i.e. the taxpayers, and that the value of the damage will be announced by the Speaker of the Parliament.
