In her first address to the public, the new prime minister said that she would be doing her job responsibly and honorably.

– I can promise to all the citizens of Serbia that I will give it my best each day and that I will do my job the best that I can. I want to thank the entire team of the Government of Serbia for having accepted my invitation to work together. I have already worked with these people and I expect that we will start working at the same pace immediately.
