"The formation of a new government is of crucial importance, bearing in mind the situation we are in, a difficult situation. Today, we all have to think together, and I can't do it alone, as someone who has received great support from the people, instead we need a government, and the one that has full legitimacy not the one in the technical mandate. We have to deal with new sanctions, which could again damage us, so we will plead with European partners to be spared," said he.

He announced that he would start consultations with all parliamentary parties as soon as the new convocation of the National Assembly of Serbia is formed.

"I am convinced that the new government will accept some of my advice and requests and I believe that the prime minister will decide to make the government minority inclusive, to include as many Hungarians, Bosniaks, Croats, Romani, minorities, representatives of all nationalities who wish this country well... Who have only one homeland, and that is Serbia, who love it endlessly, who plan to live here just like us," he stressed.

Vucic said that he knows how to say, "members of ethnic minorities," but that he prefers to talk about wonderful citizens, peoples who do not belong to the majority, and who have always been with Serbia, helped and shared in good and bad with us and solved all problems together.

Vucic took the oath of office before the deputies today.
