With the victory of PM Aleksandar Vucic in the presidential elections, the office of the head of the Serbian government has been vacated.

A new government will be formed within the next two months, Vucic said late on Sunday.

While he was still the presidential candidate of the ruling coalition and his SNS party, Vucic on one occasion remarked that he "had some names" - but would not say publicly who would replace him as prime minister.

SNS leader and Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic has declared his victory in the presidential elections held in Serbia on Sunday, April 2.

The Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) announced on Monday that based on 90.86 percent of electoral material, Vucic won 55.09 percent of the vote.

He is followed by Sasa Jankovic (16.26 percent), Luka Maksimovic (9.04), Vuk Jeremic (5.33), and Vojislav Seselj (4.47), RTS is reporting.

Serbian PM and presidential candidate Aleksandar Vucic has announced that he would not travel to Kosovo where he was to hold a rally in Leposavic on Wednesday.

"I will not take orders from them (Pristina) on whether I would arrive with Vulin, Stefanovic, or somebody else. You won't see that movie," he said late on Tuesday, adding that he canceled the trip "so as not to expose Serbs from Kosovo to unpleasantness."

The Dveri Movement claims that Serbs employed by Serbian institutions and public companies in Kosovo and Metohija are subjected to threats and blackmail.

According to the opposition movement, whose leader Bosko Obradovic is a candidate in the April 2 presidential elections, these Serbs are pressured in order to support Aleksandar Vucic, the candidate of the ruling coalition.

Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director Marko Djuric has said that representatives of the Serb (Srpska) List are returning to the Kosovo Assembly.

Djuric told Serbia's state broadcaster RTS that he respects their decision to "actively oppose the establishment of a Kosovo army, despite difficult political circumstances."

The Nis-Pristina highway will connect some 100,000 citizens in the Toplica District with Corridor 10, says Zorana Mihajlovic.

"The highway from Nis to Pristina via Merdare, which Serbia will build together with the EU, will connect around 100,000 citizens in the Toplica District with Corridor 10, the most significant traffic route in Serbia," the minister of construction, transport and infrastructure said on Wednesday.

RIK President Vladimir Dimitrijevic says the opposition "has no reason to doubt the legitimacy of the electoral process in Kosovo and Metohija."

Dimitrijevic came out with this statement after Sanda Raskovic-Ivic, who heads an opposition parliamentary group, described the instructions for the holding of the presidential elections in Kosovo, which the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) adopted late last night, as "unconstitutional and allowing for electoral fraud."

EU officials have called on representatives of the Kosovo government to abandon any further delays in establishing the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO).

Tanjug is reporting this on Thursday, citing a statement issued by the EU office in Kosovo.

It was published after a meeting in Brussels of "the special group on normalization of relations with Serbia under the EU-Kosovo Stabilization and Association Agreement."

Ukrainian Ambassador to Serbia Oleksandr Aleksandrovych says the Kosovo government's decision to "nationalize" the property of Serbia in Kosovo is "illegal."

"The so-called government of Kosovo on March 15 passed a decree to take over the property registered in the name of Serbia and Yugoslavia, as property of the so-called Republic of Kosovo," said a statement Aleksandrovych sent to the media on Wednesday.

Serbian First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic on Tuesday received the new ambassador of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Ri Pyong Du.

The diplomat delivered his accreditation letters to President Tomislav Nikolic, the Serbian government said.

Ri Pyong Du thus officially assumed the office of ambassador on non-residential basis accredited from Bucharest, a statement said.
