Vucic: There are three candidates for new Security Information Agency chief

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday evening there were three candidates for the new Security Information Agency director and announced that the agency's next chief would be named after the upcoming parliamentary elections.

In an appearance on Pink TV, Vucic dismissed as untrue reports by some media outlets that Zlatibor Loncar had been appointed the agency's director.

"First of all, someone from that institution will definitely be appointed to lead the Security Information Agency after the elections in the period until the appointment of someone new, and Mr Loncar is not a Security Information Agency employee. We will see who that will be, there are three proposals, and this is also being discussed with (the agency's former chief) Mr Aleksandar Vulin, among others," Vucic said.
