When he announced the elections, Tadic said that on January 21st Serbia will be choosing between a European future and a return to the not so distant "dark past" of the Milosevic era. "I expect the victory of the democratic forces, the victory of a policy that is defined by one goal – membership in the EU and improvement of the citizens' living standards," he said.
Kada je raspisivao izbore, Tadić je rekao da će 21. januara Srbija birati između evropske budućnosti i povratka u ne tako davnu „mračnu prošlost“ Miloševićevog doba. “Očekujem pobedu demokratskih snaga, pobedu politike koju definiše samo jedan cilj, a to je članstvo u EU i poboljšanje životnog standarda građana”, rekao je on.
