What surprises me, I would not speak about publicly. We are not closing the door to anyone, but we do not expect anyone\u2019s help after the elections. If we do not have a majority ourselves, it will be clear to us that we have lost the majority,\u201d Vu\u010di\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the SPS decision is a \u201cclear signal\u201d to SNS that it must independently secure a majority in the new parliamentary term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a clear signal to us that we will have to win on our own and secure a majority if we want to continue important work and projects for Serbia. You have to independently have around 46 percent of the vote to have more than 125 members of parliament. It is certain that we could count on cooperation with Istv\u00e1n P\u00e1sztor\u2019s party; they are our traditional partners who always keep their word, and toward whom we also keep our word,\u201d Vu\u010di\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIT IS NOT TRUE THAT RU\u017dI\u0106 HAS TAKEN OVER THAT PARTY\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He rejected claims that SPS Vice President Branko Ru\u017ei\u0107, who has publicly criticized the situation in the country and the authorities\u2019 attitude toward the student movement, has taken over the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI do not agree that Ru\u017ei\u0107 has taken over that party. Whatever influence he had a year, a year and a half ago, he has today as well. They simply skillfully played the game of fake commissions, statutory commissions, this and that, and childish stories so that they could always be someone who would one day choose one side or the other. I pursue a different policy, a policy based on commitments, principles and substance, rather than on how to remain in power. I do not want to be in power if I have to cooperate with the blockaders, to pursue Pol Pot\u2019s politics in which every different opinion would be banned,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DECISION ON CONTINUING COOPERATION TO BE MADE AFTER THE ELECTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vu\u010di\u0107 also said that a decision on possible continued cooperation with SPS would be made after the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhether we will continue or not, that will be decided once the elections are over. It is possible that they will be with someone else, it is possible that they will be with us, but the person who wins the elections will have the say in that, and that is the most important thing,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vu\u010di\u0107 added that the construction of Tir\u0161ova 2, together with equipment, would cost around 150 million euros and that the facility should be opened by Vidovdan next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat would then be an incredible step forward. It will be the best hospital in Southeastern Europe, one of the key healthcare infrastructure projects that we have carried out in recent years,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/last-flight-after-a-40-year-career-captain-vesic-landed-from-chicago-into-retirement-accompanied-by-water-cannons-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">LAST FLIGHT AFTER A 40-YEAR CAREER: Captain Vesi\u0107 landed from Chicago into retirement accompanied by water cannons!
