Leaders of RS parliamentary parties, Serb Radical Party, Serb People’s Union, Socialist Party of the RS and the Party of Independent Social Democrats, were invited by the SRT to provide their assessment of the political situation prior to the Day of RS, but only the President of the SDS, Aleksa Buha, did not respond to the invitation “because he was busy.”
Nikola Poplasen, President of the Serb Radical Party, said that he hoped in future there would be no reason for celebrating the Day of RS statehood, as “brothers from Serbia, Montenegro and RS should be finally united, and celebrate the day of same day together in future. We see the time ahead of us as an interim period in that direction. Anything less would be another historical failure and misfortune of the Serb people.”
