Boris Tadić

The selection of Ana Brnabic as PM-designate has caused varied reactions from the opposition, as well as the ruling coalition.

Opposition leaders have reached for various terminology in a bid to "explain the situation."

Opposition SDS leader Boris Tadic has canceled a press conference due to a lack of interest by reporters.

The former Serbian president canceled the news conference shortly before it was to start, also because no cameras were present.

BELGRADE - The Serbian government on Wednesday named former Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic as head of the National Council for Coordination with the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China.

At a session, the government also appointed the members of the Council.

Aleksandar Vucic says he is the president of "Velja Ilic, Sasa Jankovic, Boris Tadic, Bosko Obradovic, and other (opposition) party leaders."

"They are all citizens of Serbia and I am the president of all of them. One, and well-liked, I hope," Vucic added.

Serbia's President-elect, Aleksandar Vucic, will sworn in on Wednesday in parliament but the ceremonial inauguration will take place later in June, Serbian media have reported.

Opposition SDS party leader Boris Tadic has criticized PM Aleksandar Vucic's announcement that Bratislav Gasic will become the head of the BIA.

Tadic described it as "yet another scandal of the current authorities."

Serbian Army chief Gen. Ljubisa Dikovic "could be the first" to be removed from office when Aleksandar Vucic takes over as president, the daily Danas writes.

The reports is based opinions of military analysts, who noted that Dikovic was appointed in 2011 by then President Boris Tadic, and that he later "relied on support from (now) outgoing President Tomislav Nikolic."

Ivica Dacic has announced an initiative with the PM to solve the diplomatic status of the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center (RSHC) in Nis, southern Serbia.

Only days before Serbia's presidential election, seven major newspapers have hit the stands with the same front pages: the ruling candidate's campaign poster.

The propaganda coup on Thursday by populist Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic's campaign team further stoked fears about the overall fairness of the Sunday vote.
