The future deputies of the Student List and the student movement are looking for a way to share decision-making. "Vremen" interlocutors talk about the tension between direct democracy and the need for parliament and the government to act quickly
The student movement has already decided who will be the president of the Assembly when the new convocation is constituted November 17, said the future deputy Dejan Soskic, but did not reveal the name.
As the former governor added, the movement will announce its name.
He said in "Impression of the Week" that "things will begin to speed up", that the members of the Government will be autonomous, but that they have signed declarations of commitment to the student program.
"Students know that this group of elected people from the student list that will enter the Parliament, by the letter of the law, becomes the owner of the mandate and it decides independently. We will enter into a normal political process," said Šoškić.
Media sympathetic to the outgoing regime interpreted it as the "deregistration" of students.
Between the plenum and the parliament
Several "Vremena" sources among the future deputies say that the movement and the future parliamentary group are looking for mechanisms - which decisions should remain in the hands of the movement, and which deputies will be able to make independently.
Among the MPs, says one source, there are those who would like to listen to the movement in everything and those who indicate that it is necessary to act faster.
"It is a tension between direct and indirect democracy, and the parliament is the institution of the latter," says one interlocutor, who did not want to be named.
"There is, of course, tension. Because especially when the Government is formed, it must act quickly. Decisions must be made that cannot always be decided by the plenum, but by the Prime Minister and the ministers," adds the future deputy.
Proposals for the Government are awaited.
Mirjana Nikolić, rector of the University of Arts in Belgrade, also confirmed that the declaration of the student bodies is awaited. Student lists. But, she added for FoNet, it is also important that future candidates for positions in the Government agree.
"We are not a party system so that now the students say: 'You have to do it,'" she added.
According to "Vremena" sources, the plenum of the university centers is in the process of declaring who could make up the new Government. Apparently, one or more proposals will come out of that, which the new MPs will then vote on.
Playwright Željko Hubač, also a future member of parliament, sums it up in a short answer for "Vreme" as follows: "There is no conflict between the Student List and the Student Movement, although there are rumors that there is in order to create nervousness and mistrust."
"We, both the candidates and students, we are one movement. And we all expect that the Government will be elected according to the adopted procedure," he added.
When? Hardly anyone dares to speculate there. One of the sources of "Vremena" still says that it is a matter of weeks, not months.
