Vuk Jeremić

BELGRADE - Terrorists may carry out an attack against the targets in Serbia the same way as they attacked Istanbul, and it is just a "matter of time" before such act of violence happens, ex-Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said Monday.

According to Vuk Jeremic, Serbia's former foreign minister, it is "a matter of time" before a terrorist attack occurs in this country.

CIRSD think-tank president Vuk Jeremic on Monday told the N1 broadcaster he was "intensively thinking about and considering" running for president next year.

Jeremic said the job is "of exceptional importance, especially at a time of turmoil in the world."

Former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic and leader of the opposition Democratic Party (DS) Dragan Sutanovac have held a meeting.

The Belgrade-based newspaper Blic reported this on Friday, adding that next year's Serbian presidential election was "the main topic."

NEW YORK - Former Serbian FM Vuk Jeremic, Belgrade's candidate for the new UN secretary-general, finished second in Wednesday's sixth round of the informal secret ballot in the UN Security Council behind former Portuguese PM Antonio Guterres, who is now set to succeed South Korea's Ban Ki-moon.

Ambassadors on the 15-member UN Security Council will hold their sixth and last informal straw poll on Wednesday, with the five permanent members using coloured ballots to mark candidates they would like to block.
