The National Assembly Speaker stressed that this decision does not pertain to the councillors of the city assemblies of Belgrade and Zajecar, nor the councillors of the municipal assemblies of Arandjelovac, Bor, Vrbas, Kovin, Kosjeric, Lucani, Majdanpek, Medvedja, Mionica, Negotin, Odzaci and Pecinci as these local self-governments have had extraordinary elections in the period 2013-2015.

“I would like to invite the citizens of Serbia to vote in the elections on 24 April, which is also the date of the parliamentary and provincial elections, when they will have the opportunity to make decisions about all the levels of government, the future of Serbia and their own future”, said the Serbian Assembly Speaker.

Gojkovic appealed to all the participants of the elections to keep the campaigns fair, honest and positive, stressing that those who win the citizens’ trust must bear in mind that they should only make decisions which are in the citizens’ interest.
