We will not do what the LDK has done, PDK, AAK, Initiative, Srbska and others. We won't block those that are necessary even now, just like they were when we wanted to vote. We have the same attitude, both for support and for proceeding. Despite having lost a time as a result of blocking others. We're not going to do that, we're gonna argue that we're going to do it principally. Our objections will be principled and based on arguments, not on political blockades because of option”.
