As soon as the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) announced that it would to stand for election independently, that is that he will not be on the SNS list, texts immediately appeared in the tabloids about how it was treason and that Dacic "blockade Trojan horse".
Right in the midst of these inscriptions, Dusan Bajatovic, director of "Srbija Gas" and vice president of the Main Board of Socialists, was a guest of the Morning Program on Pink. He also sat in the studio with him Nebojsa Krstic, who immediately began to call him out for this decision to go to the elections independently.
"Are you afraid of the census", he asked Bajatović, to which the socialist replied that they have much more serious plans and that they plan to win ten percent in the elections.
Bajatović also defended himself that it is logical for the SPS to go to the elections alone, but he added that not everything is the same as what the SNS and SPS think, but also that the socialists "have no fault in their relations with this government."
"But, you know what, the role of the Socialist Party of Serbia in which we are underestimated, whether you have three percent or not," Bajatović added.
Will Ružić be on the list for the elections?
Bajatović added that he would never support anything that is a blockade, but the presenter Predrag Sarapa commented that they have a vice president in their ranks who supports it, referring to Branko Ruzic.
"Who asks him what? He won't even be on the list. He can think what he wants, I don't agree with him," said Bajatović.
When "Vremen" asked him to comment on this statement, Branko Ružić said:
"I've never had the manners to comment on statements or argue in public with officials of the party I belong to, so I wouldn't do it now either."
Patches and patches
Branko Ružić, the vice-president of the party in the role of a kind of dissident, has been repeating for more than a year how the socialists in previous years renounced their politics for the sake of office, which, he thinks, should be changed.
In order to restore citizens' trust in Serbian politics, he proposed an apparently radical tactic - to replace the current politicians in power. He also said that their coalition with the progressives is not "real" because socialists always have to agree with a bigger partner.
"And a partner who is denied the right to have an independent attitude is no longer a partner; he becomes a stickler," Ružić concluded earlier.
