Nikolic said he believes the date is acceptable to the government since the European Commission is to recommend Serbia be formally granted EU candidate status in early October, so the early elections would not obstruct EU-related reforms.
Nikolić je kazao kako vjeruje da je taj datum prihvatljiv vladi jer Europska komisija treba preporučiti da Srbija dobije status službenog kandidata za EU početkom listopada, tako da izvanredni izbori ne bi ugrozili reforme vezane za EU.
