Watson welcomes Serb vote for a European future

Serbs gave strong backing this week in parliamentary elections to the pro-European strategy of the outgoing government and President Boris Tadic. Although the Tadic bloc did not win an absolute majority, it emerged as a clear victor in the national poll.

Local Lib Dem MEP Graham Watson, who leads the pro-European ALDE group in the European Parliament said:

"Liberals and Democrats congratulate the Serbian people on the defeat of the overtly nationalist forces in yesterday's election. Boris Tadic must now try to form a Government and show Serbia the way forward that focuses on the practical economic and social steps to closer integration to the EU whilst reining in Serb nationalists in Kosovo."
