The government will on Tuesday discuss supporting the candidature of Vuk Jeremic for the post of the next UN secretary-general, B92 has learned.
The daily Vecernje Novosti is reporting it learned that the government will decide to back the candidature of Serbia’s former foreign minister, who also in the past served as president of the UN General Assembly.
This has also been confirmed for B92.
The newspaper added that the decision was “in a way surprising” – considering that several high Serbian officials previously said Jeremic could not count on his country’s support.
Speaking in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he is on a one-day visit to Mostar on Tuesday, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said he was “not ruling out the possibility” that his cabinet might back Jeremic’s candidature when it meets later in the afternoon.
