Vuk Jeremic

In an interview with Serbian tabloid Kurir on Tuesday, President Tomislav Nikolic said there is no reason for the ruling Progressives not to support him as their candidate in the upcoming presidential election, which is expected to be held no later than April this year.

BELGRADE - Former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic has announced that he will run for president in the election scheduled for later this year. Jeremic made the announcement on January 15 in Belgrade.

The date of the election has not yet been set.

President Tomislav Nikolic has suggested he would run for a second term but has not yet made a formal announcement.

Former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic has announced his candidature in the presidential elections, to be held in Serbia this year.

Jeremic, who in the past served as president of the UN General Assembly and now heads the CIRSD think-tank, made the announcement as he met with citizens in Belgrade during an event dubbed "Serbia in 2017."

Former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic has said he will run in the presidential election this spring.

On his website, he has posted a message arguing he is taking the step "for Serbia", vowing to repair the system together with his compatriots and create a developed country where "one does not whisper but speaks freely."

BELGRADE - If he runs for president, Aleksandar Vucic could win the presidential elections in the first round already, while Tomislav Nikolic could have major problems in a run-off vote, shows a recent survey conducted by the Politika daily and the Faktor Plus opinion poll company.

SDS leader Boris Tadic thinks the opposition must unite if they wish to defeat "the candidate of SNS leader Aleksandar Vucic" in the presidential elections.

"Both Sasa Jankovic and Vuk Jeremic have the potential to win, but only if one of them is a joint candidate while the other backs him," the former Serbian president told the newspaper Blic.

BELGRADE - Terrorists may carry out an attack against the targets in Serbia the same way as they attacked Istanbul, and it is just a "matter of time" before such act of violence happens, ex-Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said Monday.

According to Vuk Jeremic, Serbia's former foreign minister, it is "a matter of time" before a terrorist attack occurs in this country.

CIRSD think-tank president Vuk Jeremic on Monday told the N1 broadcaster he was "intensively thinking about and considering" running for president next year.

Jeremic said the job is "of exceptional importance, especially at a time of turmoil in the world."

Former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic on Saturday spent a little under two and a half hours giving his statement at the SBPOK.
