Four candidates will fight for the new Prime Minister of Serbia. As he learns Serbian "Blitz", The president Aleksandar Vuќi. thinks between Marko Djuric, Ana Brnabic, Sinisa Mali and Milos Vucevic.

The return of Marko Djuric, Serbia's current ambassador to the United States, has been widely discussed since the election campaign. Following Vucic's announcement that he would leave the leadership of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), it was speculated that Djuric could succeed him at the helm of the party.

However, according to sources close to the president, Djuric has a realistic chance of becoming head of government.

- Djuric has been the man of Vucic's greatest trust for years. He showed that by deciding to send him to Washington at a very delicate moment for the country. It is certain that Djuric is returning to Serbia, the only question is what kind of work the current ambassador to Washington will do in the future, and it is very likely that he will be the head of the executive power - says the source of "Blic".

Incumbent Finance Minister Sinisa Mali and the mayor of Novi Sad have previously been running for prime minister, but the idea never materialized.

- Vuќi верува believes in both, the question is only on his assessment where they can give the most. Both Mali and Vucevic have results in the previous positions - Blic writes.

When it comes to Ana Brnabic, President Vucic is pleased with how she worked and how much she sacrificed.

"Some time ago, he planned another position for her, equally responsible, but he is not sure whether to do castling or to play and entrust another mandate to Ana Brnabic," said a Blic interlocutor close to the Serbian president.

Aleksandar Vucic recently announced that he would deal with the new government when he is sworn in before parliament, adding that he is not interested in naming publicly because he "had a more important job".

If elected, Ana Brnabic will become the first prime minister in three consecutive terms since the October 5 changes, but she could also surpass Mirko Marjanovic, who headed the Serbian government from March 18, 1994, to October 24, 2000.
