The MPs of the Serbian List wanted to entrust a mandate to Mirjana Jevtić because they wanted a women from the Serbian community to be at the forefront of the ministry with a capacity, said Slavko Simić in a written statement.

"Mr Marić was before his dismissal, as Mr Mustafa said, due to poor coordination and cooperation of his ministry with local governments in Kosovo," said President of the Serbian List Slavko Simić in a written statement to the media.

The statement further states that the primary objective still remains the Community/Association of Serb municipalities and that they remain loyal to their ''institutional mother'' i.e. Government of the Republic of Serbia and the president Aleksandar Vučić.
