Koštunica resigns as DSS party leader

BELGRADE -- Vojislav Koštunica has stepped down as leader of the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS). The party's presidency on Wednesday accepted his resignation.

BELGRADE - New Democratic Party (NDS) leader Boris Tadic said on Monday that the new Serbian government must be formed soon after the March 16 parliamentary elections to avoid the country's economic collapse.

A social consensus is also needed on cutting costs as well as on investments and kick-starting economic development, Tadic told TV Pink.
