Belgrade, October 5, 2000
The Prime Minister said in a written statement that the past four years have been much more difficult than many of us expected. Changes surely have not been as quick as we wanted, and the task of building a stable and well-organised state is still unfinished. This task has to be completed in the best and safest way - by building institutions and regaining the citizens' confidence in those institutions, by establishing regulations that will be a basis of a stable society, by developing economy and by including the country in European integrations, said Kostunica.
The time ahead of us is laying out a lot of questions that we must answer. The government, headed by me, aims to help in the continued success of the joint undertaking of building Serbia, so that all of us can live in a stable and better country soon, to help make a step towards a Serbia that we all aspire to, concluded the Prime Minister.
