Dejan Soskic stepped down as the head of the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) on Thursday. New NBS governor likely on Monday Stefanovic told Tanjug that the possibility was there but that it depended on whether a proposal for the new governor would arrive in time to honor the parliament's rules of procedure. He explained that he could schedule a session to take place 24 hours after the moment he received a proposal for the new governor. “Given that Soskic has resigned, passing the bill is not a prerequisite for the election of the new NBS head,” Stefanovic said. The bill amending the law on the NBS will be debated in principle today while its amendments should be discussed Saturday.
