Vucic calls press conference, could announce his cabinet

One of the SNS vice-presidents, Milos Vucevic, called the party meeting that will discuss the stance toward Bakir Izetbegovic's statements

, relations between Serbia and Croatia, but also the formation of Serbia's new government.

According to Belgrade-based daily Blic, Vucic has finished writing his exposé - a presentation of his proposed government's program that he will read in the National Assembly - and has also "chosen the team that will make up his cabinet."

The paper said Vucic will now "seek support for his cadre from the party leadership" - something where "no problems are expected."

If Vucic does announce the composition of his government this evening, the National Assembly, that must elect a cabinet, could finally meet on Wednesday.

"Vucic is for the time being keeping the names of future ministers top secret. However, most of them are known from before,"said Blic.

According to the same report, those whose jobs are safe are Zorana Mihajlovic (construction, transport), Nikola Selakovic (justice), Nebojsa Stefanovic (police), Dusan Vujovic (finance), Aleksandar Vulin (labor, social policy) and Vanja Udovicic (sport and youth).

The Socialists (SPS) will once again join the cabinet, the daily said, with Ivica Dacic continuing as Serbia's foreign minister, and Aleksandar Antic keeping the energy department.

Those expected to be replaced include Snezana Bogosavljevic-Boskovic (agriculture), Srdjan Verbic (education), Ivan Tasovac (culture and information). Meanwhile, the current status of Health Minister Zlatibor Loncar is described as "an unknown."

Another Belgrade daily, Vecernje Novosti, as well as tabloids Alo and Kurir, are also reporting that the SNS Presidency will today talk about "new ministers."

However, Vecernje Novosti writes they will discuss "possible coalitions, the government's structure and the number of departments" and will only after this consider "concrete solutions."
