I am certain that we will, in the forthcoming period of my presidency, co-operate to the mutual benefit of all these institutions, and in the name of the welfare of our people and the stability of our society and our nation. I am certain that this communication between the Parliament and the President must provide all that is needed to make this society’s stability the guarantee of its prosperity.’

Mr Markovic noted that Boris Tadic had assumed the office of President of the Republic of Serbia by taking the oath of office.
