Vucevic: Gov't reshuffle due in spring, Sofronijevic and Lazarevic have expertise

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Milos Vucevic announced on Wednesday a government reshuffle was due in the spring - in May or June.

"I think it will happen in the spring, in May or June, for a period of one year. The new candidates for ministers of construction and trade have less time to prove themselves," Vucevic told K1 TV.

He said Aleksandra Sofronijevic and Jagoda Lazarevic, put forward to succeed former minister of construction, transport and infrastructure Goran Vesic and former minister of internal and external trade Tomislav Momirovic, respectively, possessed an extremely high level of expertise and that their inclusion in the cabinet would also raise the number of women ministers.

"They really have the expertise, if you look at their CVs, you can see the level of expertise they have, and they have both spent years in the departments where they are now candidates," Vucevic said.
