Addressing a ruling Pensioners Party (PUPS) gathering in Belgrade late on Sunday, the president, and leader of the Democrats (DS) also said he would never support bringing “foreign military bases to the country”.

“A combined goal, including both Europe and Kosovo and Metohija, is the policy that I will believe in by the very last moment, and that policy has no alternative,” Tadić underlined in his address.

Tadić noted that “not all political parties believe in that goal, particularly not the coalition of the (opposition) Serb Progressive Party, the Democratic Party of Serbia and the New Serbia”, that was announced Saturday.

Referring to the messages of the Saturday SNS assembly, Tadić said that this political option was already defeated at the previous elections, because it destabilized Serbia's European program, sent messages of conflict and did not have understanding for the needs of the oldest citizens.

“That political coalition would bring no good and push the country into new conflicts,” Tadić underscored, adding that it is still possible for the coalition to change and for that reason he sent the message of dialogue.

Tadić stated that the Serbian society should not be one of long-lasting conflicts, but a society of dialogue, since that is the only way it will have future.
