Ljajić: No deal with SNS; five officials dismissed in past month

Rasim Ljajić has denied any agreement with the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) concerning his resignation as the president of the Social Democratic Party of Serbia (SDPS). Ljajić asserted that the Serbian President, Aleksandar Vučić, was informed of his decision through media reports, underscoring a perceived lack of direct communication or consultation.

Ljajić highlighted recent internal party shifts, stating that five officials from his party have been dismissed within the last month. This suggests a period of internal instability or external pressure on the SDPS.

The statement implies a potential rift or disagreement between Ljajić's party and the SNS, despite their past collaborations. The lack of a "behind-the-scenes" agreement, as suggested by Ljajić, points to an independent decision or a breakdown in political negotiations.

For my resignation as president of the Social Democratic Party of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić learned from the media. That's how much it is about some behind-the-scenes.
