The president of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabic, says that by not enabling the holding of a session where the opposition proposal for a vote of no confidence in the Government of Serbia was on the agenda, opposition deputies showed fear and panic from early parliamentary elections.

"Those who shout 'Vucic, coward, call elections' on a daily basis - when it came to the possibility of the government falling, that is, the possibility to cast a vote of no confidence, to consider, at their request, whether there is trust in the government in the Assembly, they suddenly became engulfed in a vortex of chaos and panic that the government might actually fall, and that there would be early parliamentary elections," Brnabic told Pink TV.

She added that not only the "blockaders" from the former government, but also those who occupied the faculties, as well as the rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Djokic, do not want elections, and added that all of them only want - for Serbia to stop.

According to Brnabic, some opposition deputies are now saying that it is not in their interest to have "pro-European laws" adopted in the National Assembly.

"Biljana Djordjevic from the Green-Left Front (ZLF), the so-called pro-European option, said, and I quote, 'It's not in our interest to adopt pro-European laws'. Why? Because instead of helping Serbia on its European path, they are making it harder. Here you have blockader politicians who say, 'We are pro-European, but it's not in our interest to adopt pro-European laws in the parliament, because that will be good for Serbia, and what is good for Serbia is bad for us'," said Brnabic.

The session of the Serbian National Assembly, whose agenda includes a no confidence vote proposal submitted by 62 opposition deputies, has been rescheduled for tomorrow, the Assembly announced on Thursday.

That session was originally scheduled for today, but due to a lack of quorum, it had to be postponed.
