Jeremic ranks second in latest informal UNSC straw poll

Vuk Jeremic finished third in the fourth round organized earlier this month, and was ranked second overall after that round.

Portugal's Antonio Guterres on Monday once again topped the informal straw poll with 12 positive, two negative, and one undecided vote. Jeremic received eight positive, six negative, and one undecided, while Slovakia's Miroslav Lajcak, who was second in the previous round, today placed third (8-7-0).

Speaking after Monday's poll, Jeremic said it confirmed his continued ranking at the very top of the candidate list.

"This time we are in second place. We continue the campaign from the position of the first-ranked (candidate) in the Eastearn European Group, ahead of the final phase where UN Security Council members will have the possibility of announcing the use of their vetoes," Jeremic said.
