In a press conference today, leader of the Serb Independent Liberal Party (SLS) Slobodan Petrovic expressed support for the appointment of Dijana Zivic as new Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development following the dismissal from the post of Nenad Rikalo from the Serbian List. Petrovic said Zivic was appointed to the post on his recommendation and that the move fixes an injustice done towards SLS which did not lead any ministry in the government of Kosovo. “President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic knows that SLS is a parliamentary party and is the oldest party in Kosovo representing Kosovo Serbs,” Petrovic said adding that under these circumstances “it is normal for us to be part of the government as was the case in previous years and there is no reason for anyone to get upset about this.” He further accused the Serbian List of “spreading lies” against Zivic who he said was “by far more of an expert that any minister proposed by the Serbian List.”
