"Serbia would vote like Britain - but we remain on EU path" - - on B92.net Aleksandar Vucic says that although he is "sure that citizens of Serbia would vote similar to the British," Serbia "will remain on the path of the EU." Source: B92 Friday, June 24, 2016 | 13:21 Vucic addresses reporters on Friday (Tanjug) Speaking on Friday in Belgrade - after Britain voted to leave <http://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2016&mm=06&dd=24&nav_id=98416> the EU - the Serbian PM-designate said the reason for this was that he was "also sure citizens of Serbia want a better future." Vucic added that the most important thing for Serbia was "to stick to its keywords" - namely, "stability and prosperity." "For us it is important to, in accordance with the trust given to us by citizens, continue the European path, fight for a better standard and attract investors," he said. According to Vucic, "Serbs like to be divided on big issues" and would probably vote like the British, but he also pointed out that "young people in Britain were mostly in favor of staying in the European Union." As he said, the outcome of the referendum was "the biggest political earthquake since the fall of the Berlin Wall." "I will not be guided by the daily emotions. We're not going to change our policy, because this is a serious and responsible policy, and this is a government that is disciplined, that is carrying out serious and responsible measures," Vucic said. Vucic then noted that "there are, since this morning, those who would call a referendum in Serbia and change the policy," but that "the people had their say in the elections." "When they win in elections, they call call what they want, I do not recognize the street. There were (participants) from all sides in the elections, people voted for stability, not for idiots, as happens in other countries," said Vucic. He went on to underlined that Serbia will continue on its European path "but must above all care about preserving its economic and financial stability." "I would say to citizens of Serbia that the consequences that will be seen in other countries due to the British decision will not be seen in Serbia," Vucic said. Speaking about the Serbia's plans to join the EU "by 2020" - in light of the latest developments within that organization - Vucic said the country will by that time fulfill all its tasks, "while the rest will be up to Europe." Vucic also revealed that his new government may not be formed by July 3, which he previously mentioned as the deadline. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
