While in opposition in Pristina believe that the Serbs would be the deciding factor in the executive branch in Kosovo, Slobodan Petrovic believes that the new cabinet members will not have too much influence, but will work in the interests of their community.

He repeated that it was not important only a number of ministries but also  people who would lead the ministries, and that they would show their best now and wished them much success.

The leader of the Independent Liberal Party (SLS), Slobodan Petrovic confirmed for Dnevnik that the Serbian list would accept to be part of the new ruling coalition in Kosovo, while he denied that some special conditions would be placed for Hashim Thaci and Isa Mustafa. Petrovic, who has been vice president of Thaci's previous government, explains that the basis for discussion would be topics that are on the table from day one - the issue of return, the formation of the ZSO, privatization, SPC and economic status of the Serbian community.

It is important that the Serbs are in the Government of Kosovo, but the policy of the SLS, should not be continued, analysts say. Alexander Jablanovic says that politics of the Serbian list has nothing to do with the SLS's.

Analyst Stojan Jovanovic said that for the first time after the 1999, Serbs have a consistent policy, which, he said, cannot be said for the previous political set, which participated in the previous term in Kosovo institutions.
