A new Serbian government will be formed "very soon," ruling Serbian Progressive Party official Vladimir Orlic said on March 26, but did not provide an exact date or the name of the prime minister-designate.

Orlic, who was the speaker of the previous parliament, did not answer Pink TV's question about whether he saw himself as a member of the new cabinet.

Regarding repeat local elections in Belgrade, which are expected to be held on June 2, Orlic dismissed the opposition's accusations about poor election conditions and said that "every aspect of the electoral process is incomparably better" than when the opposition parties were in power.
