Nikolić kaže kako smatra da je taj datum prihvatljiv vladi, jer Evropska komisija treba početkom oktobra preporučiti da se Srbiji formalno da status kandidatkinje za EU, tako da novi izbori ne bi ometali reforme vezane za EU.
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.
