CHASLAV KRSTICH TO REORGANIZE DHSS

Former leader of DHSS, who led the party until July 2018 party crisis, today re-organized party which was disintegrated and merged into KPS few months ago. After talks he had with MPS leader Sinisha Stoikovich and former DHSS leader Vladimir Batich, who was the one to decide to merge DHSS into KPS, Chaslav Krstich today on a press conference announced the re-formation of DHSS. He said:

"Serbia needs DHSS. Serbia needs a party capable to maintain and preserve ideas of progressive conservatism and to position itself on liberal right wing, and stand there with pride. For too long, KPS thought that they have a monopoly on right wing. But this is not only the question of ideology, but a question of practical decisions. Leadership of KPS in previous period made too much mistakes and failed to respond to what SDP is doing in Serbia today. That is why majority of rebellious MPs from Skupština decided to unify with MPs from MPS and to create a parliamentary group of DHSS. Since MPs are still coming with us, it is hard to say how many MPs does DHSS exactly has, but until first party congress we would publish exact numbers. I proposed writer Bane Crnojevich as a party ideologue and university professor Radomir Ljubichich as a party secretary general, while "new right lions" from former leadership of KPS - David Bojich and Viktor Obradovich would be proposed as a party vice-presidents. Elections on general congress of the party would be held during next week."

In the rest of journalist questions, Krstich turned to relations with other parties. In his answer, he made it clear that cooperation is possible with DS under rule of Martina Nastich-Stoitchich, but that he is disappointed in some people from that party, like actual President of Serbia Lazar B. Jerkov, whom he named "the main reason why SDP took political supremacy from his own party". Further, he explained that there is no way for DHSS to form a coalition with SDP, while KPS now "become irrelevant political force which has no chance to pass the census on any next elections".
