Serbian news: Pollsters predict Radical Party success, leader says Croatia an "occupying force" |
Pollsters predict Radical success | 12:38 | SRNA
BELGRADE -- Thursday – The nationalist Serbian Radical Party will
individually win most votes in next month's parliamentary elections,
two top pollsters said today.
Srna news agency quotes Strategic Marketing director Srdjan
Bogosavljevic as saying the Radicals could win around 1 million votes.
Liljana Bacevic of the Institute for Social Sciences said that
individually the party will be the strongest in elections on December
28.
Both noted the difficulty in predicting how the Radicals would do,
since many of their voters refuse to take part in opinion polls.
Bogosavljevic said he expected members of the original DOS coalition
to get a total of around 2,400,000 votes, shared almost equally
between the Democratic Party of Serbia, the Democratic Party and G17
Plus.
Radical candidate says Croatia an "occupying force" | 16:18 | Tanjug
BELGRADE -- Thursday – Serbian presidential hopeful Tomislav Nikolic
has denied saying his Radical Party would go to war over the Krajina
region of Croatia, but reiterated that Croatia remains "an occupying
force" on Serb land.
"It's a lie that I said we'd go to war", Nikolic told a press
conference today, when asked about his comments on Tuesday evening on
Novi Sad television Apolo.
He claimed the media had summarised his hour-long interview in three
sentences.
"This is my truth", he said today. "Croatia is an occupying force in
the territory of the Republic of Serb Krajina. One day, when the
circumstances in the world change, when each and every person in the
world gets the opportunity to live on his own land, then I guess Serbs
will also be allowed to live on their own property.
Then, he added, Serbs living in Serb Krajina will have the right to
say whom they wish to live with.
Nikolic came top in this month's abortive Serbian presidential
elections. His party is also expected to perform well in parliamentary
elections in December.
Nikolic advocates "Greater Serbia" | 11:13 | Beta
NOVI SAD -- Wednesday – Presidential hopeful Tomislav Nikolic said
last night that his Serbian Radical Party had not given up on the idea
of a "Greater Serbia".
"My desire is to once again found a state in Serb Krajina", Nikolic
told Novi Sad Television Apolo, in reference to the area in Croatia
which was briefly declared a Serb republic during the war in the early
1990s. "Why wouldn't I want Greater Serbia to be united?" he asked.
Nikolic, who topped Serbia's abortive presidential election, said that
with the existing borders Serbia should cut diplomatic ties with
Croatia.
The Radicals' deputy leader said that if he became president he would
insist on the return of the Serbian army and police to Kosovo. Asked
if this implied the possibility of another war, Nikolic replied: "Yes,
if you mean clashes with Albanian terrorists."
"Whoever attacks a Serb village or a Serb house, we'll get into a
conflict with him. If defending Serbs means confrontation, then I'm
ready for confrontation".
