RTK 2 referring to Pristina based media reports on claims by Ramush Haradinaj, one of the possible candidates for the Prime Minister that he has secured 61 votes for forming the government, reported it is still uncertain with whom Srpska Lista will be, however this List states they are open to negotiations.
“The most important is what these parties offer to Serbs, not to Srpska Lista but to Serbs in Kosovo. Will they fulfill agreements signed in Brussels that relate to the improvement of the lives of Serbs or they expect us just to stay on the side (….), stated Igor Simic MP candidate from Srpska Lista.
Although during last elections, Srpska Lista did not want to negotiate with Self-determination Movement, and Self-determination recently stated Kosovo should not have a government that depends upon Serbs, experts on political issues claim that such coalition is not impossible.
University Professor Riza Smaka thinks it would be better for Srpska Lista if it is part of the governing coalition.
Although it is uncertain what role Srpska Lista will finally have, one thing is certain, future coalition partners would need to deal with a number of sensitive topics, including Community of the Serb Municipalities and Special War Crimes Court.
Meanwhile, Novosti daily reported today it is already known that Srpska Lista with nine seats would have significant role in formation of the government. This List however still did not make public what option would be acceptable to enter into coalition co-operation.
“We could not influence election of the Albanian representatives, but we have requests for future coalition partners,” stated Slavko Simic, Chairperson of Srpska Lista.
“We do not give up on Community of Serb Municipalities, protection of the Serbian properties and return of those replaced to Kosovo (…).”
