The joint examination of 60 items on the agenda of the current session of the Serbian Parliament, which began last week, has been concluded, and the examination of the agenda items by details is ongoing.
This is the fourth day of the discussion on the agenda, which includes 60 items, among which are the Declaration on the Future of the Serbian People, new borrowing by the Government of Serbia, a loan from Poštanska štedionica in the amount of 42 billion dinars for the construction of the national stadium, an increase in the fee for the public media service and election of the governor of the NBS. Jorgovanka Tabaković was again proposed for that position.
Although the issue of lithium mining in Serbia is not on the agenda, opposition MPs used the time to talk about it and ask members of the Government about the Jadar project.
The session began on Tuesday, July 23, with Prime Minister Miloš Vučević's explanation of the Declaration, that is, the protection of national and political rights and the common future of the Serbian people. He said that the Declaration represents the foundation of the national policy, adding that all key factors were involved in its drafting.
As always, countless insults were exchanged between MPs of the ruling coalition and opposition parties.
Green-Left Front MP Đorđe Pavićević said today that he will vote against the Declaration on the Protection of National and Political Rights and the Common Future of the Serbian People because it is bad for Serbia and brought in bad faith - to strengthen the rule of the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and indirectly the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik.
"The adjective 'Serbian' with the variation 'all-Serbian' appears more than 200 times, and the national one about 40 times," Pavićević said, stating that the text is poorly written and full of "adjectives and Turkisms." As he said, in the part that calls for the preservation of the Serbian language and the Cyrillic alphabet, "it is written in the pure Serbian language that you will form a set of measures".
Pavićević said that the opposition was not invited to participate in the drafting of that document and that "I guess the ruling party imagines the assembly of the people" because "I guess there aren't enough good Serbs in the opposition."
"The Declaration says who we are and what we are, how we should raise our children, what we should remember, as well as what we should forget," said Pavićević and added that the phrase "we Serbs think for ourselves" is worthy of the Montipitan people and asked how the collective body "thinks for itself".
As he said, the Declaration was signed a day before the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Kumanovo Agreement, which was signed by a similar government, which in its time similarly called for unity. Pavićević said that the Declaration, as they say, prevents the Serbian people from being called genocidal, but it is okay to call them "war criminals" or "mass criminals", because that is how the President of Serbia defines the crime in Srebrenica.
The Minister of Agriculture, Aleksandar Martinović, said at the meeting that there is now a hunt against the Declaration as it was conducted and as it is being conducted against the Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU).
He said that "the Declaration represents the extended hand of Serbia and the Serbian people to the states that emerged on the territory of the former Yugoslavia and to the peoples who lived together with us in that Yugoslavia."
Martinović added that Pavićević belongs to the part of the elite of Serbia that sees the mention of Serbia, Serbian harmony and Serbia as the creation of a greater Serbia and that they prove their Europeanness, culture, globalism and well-readness by who will be the biggest autochauvinist.
"I don't understand why all of you who consider yourselves democrats, philanthropists, opponents of greater Serbia and Serbian harmony constantly feel the need to prove and justify yourself to someone and constantly feel the need to mention that Srebrenica. And now we need two million times to say we are sorry for the crime in Srebrenica, but that is not enough for you, not even when it happens two million times, not even five million times," said Martinović.
"In order to be completely honest, you have to explain to the citizens of Serbia and say that what happened in Srebrenica did not just happen," said Martinović.
"The Republika Srpska was not created as a genocidal creation, it was created as a resistance of the Serbian people to the repeated attempt of genocide against them, which partially succeeded in being carried out from 1992 to 1995," said Martinović.
Pavićević replied that Srebrenica is mentioned twice in the text of the Declaration, and that the President of the Assembly spoke about genocide, and that crimes cannot be "socialized" and that they have no right to share responsibility for crimes committed by some people with first or last names. .
