However, Vu\u010di\u0107 will still be a part of the SNS.<\/p>\n<p>According to his explanation, this movement will be broader than the SNS, as his goal is to get people who are not party members, to join.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside former Serbian President Tomislav Nikoli\u0107, Vu\u010di\u0107 is one of the founders of the Serbian Progressive Party.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of its creation, they were high officials of the Serbian Radical Party led by Vojislav \u0160e\u0161elj, who is convicted of war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n<p>Vu\u010di\u0107 was elected party leader in 2012, the same year the SNS came into power. His decision to keep both the presidency as well as the chairmanship of the party has been widely criticized by the opposition and part of the public opinion, based on arguments that such a move is illegal according to the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>However, the case was never sent for assessment in the Constitutional Court of Serbia.<\/p>\n<p>In his speech, Vu\u010di\u0107 also tackled the situation in the north of Kosovo, calling it difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe West aim to come out with a declaration against the authorities in Kosovo, just to satisfy us. But what can we be satisfied about? With this new reality that is completely against all laws and international norms? The resistance of the Serb population in Kosovo will be stronger, hopefully through peaceful means,\u201d said Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is now official!
