Danas sources claim that due to the resolution of the Kosovo problem, the continuation of reforms and the economic challenges following the corona virus pandemic, the chances that the ruling coalition will be formed by the Serbian Progressive Party, the Socialist Party of Serbia and Aleksandar Shapic’s Serbian Patriotic Alliance.
“It is no secret that Vučić is seriously counting on Marko Đurić, the current office manager for Kosovo and Metohija, who became clearer even after his presence at the talks in Washington and Brussels, but as things stand now, he is more likely he will stay in the same government. ” position. His election as the future head of diplomacy in the SNS was not discussed, and I am afraid that Jadranka Joksimović would not look favorably on the election of Đurić, who also prefers the post of head of diplomacy from the position of Minister of European Integration, “he said. Danas Source For now, almost everything about the new government is a big unknown.
The only sure thing, according to Danas’ interlocutor, is that the SPS will continue to be part of the ruling coalition.
“Dacic asked for three ministerial portfolios for the Serbian Socialist Party, which is opposed by almost everyone in the Serbian Progressive Party. It is not known for sure if he will eventually reach such an agreement, but it is very likely that Aleksandar Antić will retain the ministerial position. together with him and that he continues to lead the energy sector. Very soon we will know in the party bodies if there will be a third ministry for the SPS. We will soon know if Ana Brnabić will remain Prime Minister of Serbia, but there is a good chance that the President of Serbia does not try new personal solutions at this time, “says Danas’ interlocutor from the Serbian Government, noting that the least they know about being ministers, because there have not yet been any conversations on this issue in party bodies, or individually with possible candidates.
The appearance of the ruling majority will be known during the election of the Speaker of the Assembly of Serbia, which should take place later this week. The leadership of the SNS affirms that although the continuation of the constitutive session of the parliament is approaching, it is still unknown who will be the successor of Maja Gojković, who prefers to go to the executive power, more precisely to the position of Minister of Culture.
“For Vučić, the election of the head of parliament is currently the most important question, and we will soon find out who it could be in the session of the SNS Presidency and then in the Main Board, which should take place this week. Many names were mentioned for the position of president of the legislative branch, from Marija Obradović, passing through Vladimir Orlić, to Miloš Vučević, but it is not excluded that this position belongs to a candidate outside the SNS. I think that name will be the biggest surprise. Besides the president, the Vice-presidents of the assembly will be elected in the continuation of the constitutive session of parliament, but their number also depends on the final agreement and the completion of the executive and parliamentary power ”, explains the SNS interlocutor for Danas.
According to the current schedule of entries, Siniša Mali, Zorana Mihajlović and Branislav Nedimović, Nebojša Stefanović, Aleksandar Vulin and Jadranka Joksimović will likely remain in Nemanjina 11. It is not yet known whether all of them will continue to run the current departments or whether President Vučić will castrate the current departments.
The SNS believes that the new government will bring many new personal solutions, and that ministerial positions, but perhaps not departments, will be held by SDIM Rasim Ljajić and SNP Nenad Popović.
Speculation and opportunity
In some political circles, it is believed that Vucic will specifically time personnel decisions at the end of the legal deadline, on October 5, to go back to the story of the 20th anniversary of the October 5 coup, which some anti-regime media and the public will mark especially. Governments are also very interested in what will happen to the force departments and what changes will happen in the security services. Some speculate that rotations are possible, supposedly even if Nebojsa Stefanovic, the former police minister, takes over the army, and that former BIA chief Bratislav Gasic becomes the head of the Interior Ministry. It is speculated that in such a castling, the current Army Minister Aleksandar Vulin could become the head of the BIA. Zlatibor Lončar appears to remain the Minister of Health, while Dr. Darija Kisić Tepavčević enters the Government, as Secretary of State or in a similar position. JL
