The relationship with the voters is important for the parties even when there are no elections. Some do it by setting up stands on the streets, markets, and some try to adapt to the digital age in which we live.
The parliamentary group Green-Left Club, which has eight deputies in the National Assembly, decided on a different way of communicating with voters.
They made applicationsthrough which citizens can send questions for members of the Government of Serbia, and they will ask them on their behalf during the day for answers to parliamentary questions.
"Our Green-Left Club wants to get answers to the questions that are important to you together with you, and that's why we invite you to ask a question," reads the notice on social networks.
200 questions arrived immediately.
Member of Parliament of the "Moramo" coalition, Radomir Lazović, stated that citizens submitted more than 200 questions in just three days.
Lazović stated that already at today's session, members of the government will hear some of the citizens' questions. Nevertheless, as he pointed out, this coalition will have little time to ask all the questions that have arrived, but he emphasized that they will find a way to find answers.
Citizens are most concerned about health
The largest number of questions came for the Minister of Health, Danica Grujičić, which shows that the problems with health care are of greatest concern to the citizens.
"Among them are questions related to organ transplants, which have been waiting for years, how many specialists Serbia lacks in order to solve the waiting list, why the salary of doctors in Serbia is lower than the salary of their colleagues in the region," says Lazović.
After the topic of health, citizens were most interested in the topics of teachers' salaries during extended stays and the poor working conditions of educators.
Also, there were a lot of questions about infrastructure, sewage, drinking water, pollution, environmental protection.
"People are interested in when the wild construction will be solved, when they will get sewerage, which more than 50 percent of the citizens of Serbia do not have, how Serbia will improve the treatment of waste water that is hardly purified before flowing into watercourses, they asked questions about the lack of drinking water, which is especially expressed in Vojvodina," said Lazović.
He added that questions were asked about the situation in the EPS, what will be done in connection with the latest findings, which were discussed by the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and the leader of the criminal group Veljko Belivuk, namely that the state was demolishing buildings in Herzegovina.
