Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremic is to be removed from his position by PM Boris Tadic after intra-party elections following Saturday, reports Serbian agency Blic.
Citing "sources close to the cabinet," Blic writes that one of the reasons behind that move is Jeremic's allegedly self-willed decision to back the China boycott of 2010's Nobel Peace Prize award. That action had not been consulted with the cabinet and ran counter to its intentions.
In October the Nobel committee had announced that Chinese dissitent Liu Xiaobo, who is under detention in his country, would be this year's holder of the peace prize.
