Mayors of Belgrade

Serbian Finance Minister Dusan Vujovic filed his resignation on Monday, saying that the four years he spent in the government is "quite enough for a man to prove himself in a public office". 

Serbian media have widely speculated that Vujovic will be replaced by the current mayor of Belgrade, Sinisa Mali, who is leaving his position after being caught up in several scandals.

The party, that in the past gave several mayors, including Zoran Djindjic, now won 2.25 percent of the vote (18,286 votes) and will not be represented in the Assembly.

Previously, Balsa Bozovic, who headed the Belgrade board of the party and its campaign for the election, also resigned.

According to Bozovic, he sent a letter to the members of the City Board in which he stated that "the defeat in the elections for the Belgrade Assembly obligates everyone to bear their own responsibility in the name of the future of the DS".

The mayor will be elected by the new City Assembly, that the voters in Belgrade chose on March 4.

Serbian President and SNS leader Aleksandar Vucic, whose ticket won 44.99 percent of the vote, said on Monday that the mayor will be known "in about 50 days."

In the meantime, the media speculate about who might take this "hot seat."

BELGRADE - Former Belgrade mayor Vojislav Mihailovic will appear first on the electoral list of the Movement for Renewal of the Kingdom of Serbia (POKS) for the upcoming local elections in the capital, the organisation said in a statement.
