Оснивање социјалдемократске партије Cрбије на крају процеса приватизације
Establishment of the Social-Democratic Party of Serbia at the End of Transition Process

Summary/Abstract: In the paper author analyzed and evaluated the Social-Democratic Party of Serbia that had been established in December 2009 in Belgrade and attempted to make a prognosis regarding its role and place in society and political life in Serbia. Transition in Serbia, despite the warnings of numerous experts, has been going on paying the high price in the form of de-industrialization, high and permanent unemployment and poverty. The highest price was paid by the labor force in industry. Process of privatization that has been going on by the Law on Privatization has not provided for one of strategic objectives of economy: a strong domestic sector of small and middle-size companies (SMC), but instead it created a dependent economy ruled by a monopoly of multinational companies. In addition, due to the world economic crisis, the export process has stagnated, affecting the rise of the debt of the state in the period after 2008. In such situation, the Social-Democratic Party was established and in the paper the author analyzed and evaluated the program documents (Statutory Acts) that had been adopted on the party establishment congress. The programme encompasses all important questions of public life, including the reform of courts, local administration, social-market economy, improvement of the system of public health, education, cul¬ ture and environment. The programme of SDP also contains some strategic iedas on economic developement, including the public works and investments info the sector of energy and agriculture. It also suggests provision of more social help to single parents, unemployed people and old people. The author questioned how the money necessary for all these task could be provided without putting additional burden of public debt on the economy and all the citizens and suggested that the party took this issue into consideration, along with the attempt to help the economic growth of the state.
