Presidential elections will not be held in Serbia in 2016, a Belgrade-based daily said it learned from the government.

According to a source quoted by Danas, Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic "has no plans" to initiate early presidential elections, "or to attempt to reach such an agreement with President Tomislav Nikolic."

"Serbia respects the policy of the United States, but has its own policy," Prieme Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday.

MP Branko Ruzic says his party, the Socialists (SPS), wants to define "future landmarks of cooperation with the SNS."

According to him that is the reason why the party leader and Serbia's foreign minister, Ivica Dacic, requested an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, who is the president of the SNS.

Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday that Defense Minister Bratislav Gasic "has already been sacked."

It will be difficult for Serbia to get closer to Europe's most developed countries if it keeps the old, non-market-based system with the gray economy.

This is what Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday, adding that he"believes in the power of citizens to back Serbia's effort to achieve even better results."

SPS leader Ivica Dacic says he will ask for an urgent meeting with SNS leader Aleksandar Vucic "on the future cooperation" between the two ruling parties

Dacic, who is Serbia's foreign minister, said he and Vucic, who serves as prime minister, should hold this meeting "in the interest of Serbia and its future."

A group of Serbian journalists protested in front of the government building on December 21 over the fact that Defence Minister Gasic remains in his post long after Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said he would be removed for making a sexist remark.

In periods of surges in popularity, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has the support of up to half a million citizens more than his SNS party.

This is according to an opinion poll published by Ipsos Strategic Marketing on Sunday.

Serbia's Prime Minister and the Serbian Fiscal Council expressed concern after the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter of a point for the first time in almost a decade. Around 30 per cent of Serbian public debt is in dollars.

Aleksandar Vucic and Aleksandr Chepurin today spoke about the upcoming visit to Belgrade of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

The Serbian prime minister and the Russian ambassador to Serbia also discussed the session of the Mixed Committee, to be held in Belgrade in January.
