This year's first regular session of the Assembly of Serbia continued, but without the participation of the majority of opposition MPs who announced an agreement on a technical government
The Assembly of Serbia, whose beginning of the spring session was marked by incidents, she continued with a detailed discussion of dozens of items on the agenda, but without the participation of the majority of opposition MPs.
The head of the Green-Left Front (ZLF) parliamentary group, Radomir Lazović, said at a press conference in the hall of the Assembly that an agreement had been reached with the opposition MPs not to participate in the session of the Assembly on Wednesday, which "suffered an invasion by the police" and is "under siege".
He also said that the premises of the ZLF were searched on Tuesday evening, and he told the Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic that there was no need to invent that bombs had been planted, because "everything they do, they do in public."
Agreement on technical government
He also said that he and his colleagues from the opposition are working on a proposal to get out of the crisis through a technical government.
"As far as further steps are concerned, we are moving together with our colleagues from the opposition to agree on a proposal for exiting the crisis in the form of a transitional government." The most important thing about this proposal is that it must be shared, that it must have the support of people on the streets, experts, civil society organizations, and why not students, citizens, because otherwise, it cannot succeed. "Even the best proposal is not enough if it does not have support," said Lazović.
That is why they are ready to listen, to suggest, to talk and to learn.
We will not participate in giving the appearance of normalcy
The president of the Movement of Free Citizens (PSG), Pavle Grbović, said that they will not participate in the semblance of normality in the session on Wednesday, and that the previous day there were more members of the police and armed men in the Assembly than the opposition.
He says that on Tuesday evening a diversion was carried out in order to find or plant something in the parliamentary clubs, and that on Wednesday at the entrance to the Assembly they were subjected to humiliation, that they were treated as persons suspected of terrorism.
A search of the opposition office due to a false bomb report
"The Party of Freedom and Justice, as well as other opposition parliamentary groups, could not just return to the assembly hall, since the Parliament of Serbia, as well as the offices of the opposition, were searched last night, following a (false) report that a bomb had been planted," said SSP MP Marinika Tepić.
She added that the government "forcefully pushed through dozens and dozens of items on the agenda, including the huge debt of the Republic of Serbia."
"Even that wasn't enough, but they additionally supplemented the agenda yesterday with a huge number of items, while they said all the time that they were lending a hand." That's how they themselves caused the response they got," said Tepić.
