Stefanovic: "If Vucic retires as party leader, I will go as well"

Stefanovic added that if Vucic retires from politics, he will do the same.
"If he retires, I would not hold any public or party position either", Stefanovic said in a New Year's interview with Novosti.

"The goal is for people to say whether we are doing the right thing, whether people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have more vehicles, better salaries, whether crime is reduced ... If the answers are negative, I have nothing to look for here. And if they are positive, then let's see if we can do better", Stefanovic said.
Commenting on the media and opposition accusations of his father's involvement in arms trade deal affair, Stefanovic said he didn't care about "such fabrications and here-say far from the truth," and that "all institutions said those claims were untrue", adding that this is the matter of President's assessment whether he would be entrusted with any future state task.
