Zivkovic the most likely candidate
BELGRADE – Dragoljub Micunovic, Serbia-Montenegro Parliamentary Speaker, today said that a change of candidate for defense ministry portfolio is possible after the assassination of Serbian PM Zoran Djindjic.
Speaking to Radio B92, Micunovic announced that the union’s next parliamentary session, scheduled for Monday, may be postponed until Tuesday, by which time a decision regarding a new designated Prime Minister could have been made by the Democratic Party’s Main Committee.
First Vice-president of the Democratic Party, Zoran Zivkovic, was originally nominated for the post of Defense Minister and is the most likely candidate for both party president and Prime Minister to be suggested after Sunday’s Committee session.
Serbia-Montenegro President Svetozar Marovic yesterday submitted a list of candidates for ministerial positions, which included Zivkovic as the candidate for the role of Defense Minister.
