Thank you Thomas,
 if i understand what you say below i need to use glm in order to have the 
deviance and consider it for the model with svyglm and choose the best model. I
use  glm and svyglm for two models but don't have deviance for the svyglm. As i 
need to choose with the two models it is correct to use the deviance from
glm model for the svyglm.

No. It isn't correct to use the deviance at all.  The deviance is based on the 
likelihood for independent sampling, and that is not what you have.
