The government will on Tuesday discuss supporting the candidature of Vuk Jeremic for the post of the next UN secretary-general, B92 learned.

The daily Vecernje Novosti is reporting that it learned that the government will decide to back the candidature of Serbia's former foreign minister, who also in the past served as president of the UN General Assembly.

The newspaper added that the decision was "in a way surprising" - considering that several high Serbian officials previously said Jeremic could not count on his country's support.
