Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said after a government meeting held in the parliament building during the vote on the resolution that it had been done at the request of deputy groups and that the platform would be published on the website of the government and become available to the citizens of Serbia.

Dacic pointed out that the Democratic Party (DS) had requested the document to be declassified and that heads of deputy heads had demanded access to the document.
"There are not any secrets here. The difference is only two paragraphs. The platform will be posted on the website of the government," the prime minister said.

The condition set out by the DS about it being willing to vote for only the resolution if the secrecy label is taken off the platform was not crucial for the government's decision to do so, but rather the fact that the heads of deputy groups demanded access to the document.
