Boris Tadić

BELGRADE - Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) leaders Cedomir Jovanovic and Boris Tadic on Sunday congratulated Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) President Aleksandar Vucic on the election victory, but remained confident that their parties will make it to the parliament, noting that they will not form a coalition with the SNS.

BELGRADE - Leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDS) Boris Tadic said after casting his vote in Serbia's snap parliamentary elections Sunday that he expected more democracy in the future and that if the current state of affairs in Serbia continued, it would be a headlong rush into the abyss.

The government is creating an unrealistic picture, a bubble that will burst, opposition SDS party leader and former Serbian President Boris Tadic has said.

"I would completely change the investment policy in Serbia, I would apply the method that already brought results," he told B92 TV in an interview late on Wednesday.

Leaders of opposition LDP and SDP Cedomir Jovanovic and Boris Tadic says that citizens and journalists in Serbia now fear the consequences of their opinions.

The SDS-LDP-LSV coalition submitted on Sunday a list of candidates for te snap parliamentary election scheduled to take place on April 24.

The list has been named, "Boris Tadic, Cedomir Jovanovic - Alliance for a Better Serbia - LDP, LSV, SDS".

New opinion polls from Factor Plus polling agency show that Prime Minister's Aleksandar Vucic's Serbian Progressive Party is on course for a landslide win in the next parliament.

Vucic called early elections on April 24 on Tuesday night, describing them as "a referendum on whether Serbia wants to be a modern European country in 2020, whether it wants the future or the past".

Boris Tadic said on Tuesday that "all questions about why there will be no joint list of pro-European opposition parties should be directed to the DS."

Tadic, Serbia's former president and former leader of the Democratic Party (DS), now heads the opposition SDS.

SDS President Boris Tadic has said that "the time has come for opposition parties to declare themselves on forming a single election column."

He told a press conference in Belgrade on Tuesday that "discussions are ongoing with the Democratic Party, on the highest as well as on a lower level," and that he expects the SDS to receive an answer "in the coming days."

Opposition SDS party President Boris Tadic on Monday met with leaders of LDP and LSV parties.

He said afterwards he would "propose to these parties to form an alliance for early parliamentary elections."

Serbia needs its current, "incompetent government" changed, leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDS) Boris Tadic said Friday.

Tadic argues that the return of a "strong opposition option" would mean a return of democracy to Serbia.
