According to Dacic, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, will most likely speak at the commemoration in the Parliament.
He stated that a book of condolences will be opened today at 11 am in the headquarters of the Socialist Party of Serbia on Studentski trg, and that the same will be done in the municipal and district boards of this country in Serbia.
Dacic said that Mrkonjic was in such a spirit that none of his associates and friends had any idea that he was so ill.
Evoking the memories of his party friend, he pointed out that Mrkonjić was a swindler, a gentleman, that he was very hardworking, dedicated to projects and that his profession was always ahead of politics, so he presented himself as an engineer and not a politician.
– He was one of the last politicians from the old guard, he brought people together, and he did not separate them. He was a favorite with sports and cultural workers – said Dačić as a guest on TV Pink and added that Mrkonjić was one of those people who liked to help others and he also helped those he did not know.
He stated that he treated his associates in the party nicely, addressed them with “son” and “daughter” and, as he said, he was their political father.
