"Elections will be held this year, as has been said. They will be called by the competent authority, the one that has the right to do so according to the Constitution. It has been stated that they will be held by the end of 2026, and we are only in the first quarter, so there is no doubt that they will be held by the end of the year," Glisic said while visiting Raska.

The minister added that the exact date of these elections is not of key importance.

"When exactly they will be held - if I were the opposition, I would not be in too much of a hurry or insist. Things are not as they seem in their bubble, in which they live and idealize everything they do, while in reality they mostly harass people wherever they go. They have reached a stage where all they can do is attempt to escalate the violence, nothing else," Glisic said.

He added that citizens can clearly see who is working for the good of the country, and who wants the opposite.

"The only thing I know is that Serbia will continue to build and work and that they will not be able to stop it. That's now completely clear. Everything is clear to the citizens, they know who is working, who wants to raise the standard of living and help people, and they also know who wants the opposite. There is no longer any dilemma", said Glisic.

Glisic then illustrated the current situation in the country by making everyday examples.

"Just look at how many cars there are, while we were driving to Cacak and through Cacak, it seemed as if everyone had taken their vehicles out to the streets. An incredible number of cars, it's literally as if gasoline is free," the minister said.

He compared the situation in Serbia with that in the countries in the region.

"Look at Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, there, to put it figuratively, they are waiting in line (to get fuel) 'drop by drop', and here there's as much as you like," said Glisic.

The minister stressed the importance of stability in times of crises.

"People support those who, in crisis situations that affect the whole world, can provide stability to their country. We know who ensured stability, that's why they have the support and will have it in elections, which may be held on Vidovdan (late June), in August or in September, but certainly by the end of the year," he added.

Glisic said that citizens recognize who does concrete work and who contributes to raising the standard of living, and who focuses on the opposite.

"Everything is clear, for anyone who wants to follow the real situation in the country, the situation is completely obvious", concluded Glisic.
