Albanian MP Shaip Kamberi spoke about the recent developments in Serbia following the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš Vučević and the protests of students and citizens against the regime of President Aleksandar Vuçiq.
In a Facebook post, Kamberi said that Vučević's "sacrifice" did not bring about the cessation of student protests as he had expected. Vuçiq, as they are continuing in many centers of Serbia yesterday and today.
Kamberi has spoken about the options Vuçiq After Vučević's resignation - the prime minister's proposal for the formation of a new government, within 10 days, while the new government must be elected within 30 days from the date of the resignation of the current government.
In this case Vuçiq has two options: to propose a candidate from the ranks of his party, with the current partners (SNS, SPS, pensioners, Hungarians and Bosniaks of Zukorlic and Laiq) trying to include someone from the current opposition in this composition, which would most likely cause an even greater revolt of students and all other protesters, or to accept the other option that remains to him, to accept the conditions of the protesters and create a "transitional government", tasked with preparing elections at all levels, but, initially by changing the electoral legislation, Kamberi said.
He recalls that this option Aleksandar Vuçiq has rejected it with the message to students and the opposition: "You have to kill me to make it happen."Still arrogant in appearance and expression, Vuçiq, like an autocrat, is assessing the few options he has at his disposal to deal with the current dire situation, which he himself described as "dramatic," admitting that he is in a "knockdown" that "Albanians and Croats are enjoying."
Vuçiq, as he is openly expressing, prefers elections at the local and parliamentary levels. Elections with the same conditions, which have facilitated his massive vote theft, for an uncontrolled power. His preference has been opposed by part of the opposition as unacceptable, Kamberi adds.
He says that if he fails to break the protesters' resistance, VuçiqHe will be left with the option of resigning as president, to influence early elections at all levels, which according to Kamberi would take the situation to the edge of drama.
"The wind of change is blowing on this continent," declared then-British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan on February 3, 1960, in a speech before the parliament of South Africa, a country in which the ruling white party had created apartheid as a symbol of rule.
The "wind of change" is blowing in Serbia as well. While Vuçiq is still not ready for compromises, the attachment of different layers of society to the students and their cause to bring the perpetrators of the tragedy in Novi Sad to justice is becoming ever greater.Although it is too early to talk about the post-Vuçiq, it remains to be seen the outcome of the changes that the wave of protests lasting several months is expected to bring. From Milosevic to VuçiqSerbia has tried various political options, but has never given a chance to what is known as the "other Serbia".
A civic option that does not export crises to its neighbors, that renounces the hegemonic and expansionist ambitions of this state that does not recognize its own borders.
An option that renounces the destructive project of the "Serbian World"; capable and willing to confront its violent past: accepting war crimes and genocide; recognizing the realities created in the region, especially in Kosovo.
A different Serbia, of course, must demonstrate a completely different, progressive approach towards minorities. The Presevo Valley and the Albanians who, for decades, have been at the mercy of the governments of this country, will be an important test of eventual changes in this country.
If this happens, the possibility of building lasting peace in the Balkans will increase. Otherwise, Serbia will continue to export crises and security challenges to this region.Recall, Miloš Vučević submitted his irrevocable resignation yesterday under pressure from student and citizen protests for more than two months after the collapse of the railway canopy on January 1, 2024 in Novi Sad, where 15 people lost their lives and several others were injured.
In Serbia, according to the Constitution, the president is obliged to initiate the procedure for electing a new Government, which if not elected within a month of the resignation of the previous Prime Minister, the head of state is obliged to dissolve Parliament and announce new elections.
