Responding to the criticism of Democratic Party MP Aleksandra Jerkov on raising the money for the construction of the stadium, Mali said it would also contribute to the growth of gross domestic product and the construction of our construction sector, as was the case with Belgrade on the water.

He stressed that it was not only a matter of building a stadium, but that this project opens up the possibility of organizing major European, world and other championships.

Jerkov criticized the government's intention to contract a loan of 250 million euros for the construction of a national stadium, without having the money to give retirees what had been removed from them , as well as for pregnant women and maternity.

Goran Ciric, DS member, said the proposed budget for 2019 was neither social nor development, and pointed out that 10% of Serbian citizens lived below the poverty line.

Ciric said that the government praised the fact that he had saved the country from the bankruptcy he was facing in 2014 and that the public debt was going down, but nothing says who was the Prime Minister of 2014, who was majority in the government, who was the Minister of Finance and who he chose this government.

He said the 2014 public debt was 25 billion euros and that it has fallen to 24 billion in recent years. "How can the debt fall if it has been corrected in the last four years," Ciric asked.

Mali declared that on December 31, 2008, the government's public debt amounted to 8.8 billion euros and that since then it has increased "at a rapid pace" to reach 22.7 billion end of 2014, when it was stopped by fiscal consolidation measures.

He said the public debt will rise to 24.2 billion euros by the end of this year. Mouamer Zukorlic, member of the Justice and Reconciliation Party, said that it was good that "serious allocations for infrastructure in the Sandzak region, including funding for the construction of the Novi road Pazar-Tutin ", are scheduled for further construction of the pipeline via Kopaonik to Tutin.

He also spoke about developments in the National Council of Bosnia and said that Sulejman Ugljanin had clearly presented his program under the title "Self-determination", saying that "Serbia is a fascist creation".

Zukorlic stressed that "Ugljanin won the majority in the Council with the support of the Deputy Prime Minister".

Commenting on SDA Sandzak MP Enis Imamovic's statement on the expenses of his foundation, Zukorlic said he accepted the challenges, but that he could not compete in the discipline "which will continue to spit and gaffera more".
