Komsic: Radicals and Kostunica are Alike

There is no big difference between the Radical Party and Kostunica’s DSS in domestic and external policy, Zeljko Komsic reckons.

The radicals and Kostunica’s Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) are alike in political views, but the radicals are more willing in expressing that willingness, said Zeljko Komsic, the member of Presidency and former Bosnian ambassador in Belgrade said, sarajevo-x.com reports.

After the election results were announced, some statements came up such as ‘the victory of democratic Serbia’, but Komsic thinks that everything should be looked at in a different way.

-When you analyse it deeper, the question comes up, whether Kostunica’s party could be described in that way, if there was that prefix – said Komsic adding that between DSS and the radicals there is no big difference when it comes to domestic and external policy.

A half of the electorate voted for a conservative, right wing and nationalistic party, says Komsic.

-The other question is no coalition between the radicals and DSS, but it is obvious from their programmes, what they do and what they represent – he said.

On the other hand, we can conclude that one third of the voters represent a European, progressive stream.

Komsic thinks that the election results are expected and there will have to come to an alliance between Tadic and Kostunica, and with G17 plus the parties of national minorities, and the radicals will remain in strong opposition.
