Positions

In an Insajder interview in October 2026 she urged a calm and dignified election and called a high turnout the best defence of the vote. She ruled out negotiating with the Serbian Progressive Party or the Socialist Party, left room for others who met the list's criteria of expertise and had not compromised themselves under the previous government, and said expert teams stood behind each of the programme's 11 points. Asked whether a future government could debate whether someone convicted by an international court was a war criminal, she said court rulings must be accepted as delivered and such events left to history (Politika). The daily Kurir presented this as the list confirming that Ratko Mladić is a war criminal; Informer wrote that she had "admitted" power centres stood behind the list, citing her words that teams of students and experts "control" the candidates.
