BELGRADE -- The new Belgrade govt. has already divided up the secretariats and public companies, but no names have been announced.

No-one wishes to mention any specific names for the time being, but the ruling parties—the Democratic Party, G17 Plus, the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), and the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)—claim that the top positions will be taken not only by party officials, but also by experts with no party affiliation.
According to the coalition agreement, half of the directorates should be given to non-party members, and that is the bulk of the work, as they will probably be selected at competitions. As concerns the party secretaries, there will be non-party people there too. B92 understands that some of them could be appointed next week, and no later than in the next fortnight.
In an interview with weekly Vreme, new Mayor Dragan Đilas said that the new leadership’s priority was to finished projects left over from the previous government.
These include the bridge at Ada Huja, while the Belgrade bypass, according to Đilas’s forecast, could be complete by mid-October.
Thanks for the feedback.
The last leadership of Belgrade was elected in a democratic manner, so I'm not suggesting that it wasn't legitimate, of course. With democratic, I mean someone who seeks to establish egalitarianism, rule of law, and that kind of equality instruments that leads to stability, visibility, accountability, and renewed faith in the state as an organisation that can prove itself worthy of organising society.
As for Kosovo, that is another issue. Hopefully Kosovo Serbs will be treated as human beings and not just as objects people can use for their own perverse policy that does the people in question no good.
Personally I would advise Serbia to PR international attention to the whole disorganised region between Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Serbia, if it wants to succeed with Kosovo.

Well said and all John s. But are you suggesting that the previous leadership wasn't democratic. If so please humor me. Time will tell if this government achieves anything significant primarily and most importantly over the number one issue - Kosovo. I have my doubts but lets hope I'm wrong.

With a democratic leadership, things are looking very rosy for the future of Serbia, both economically and socially, if we think of Belgrade as a catalyst for the rest of the country.
Going to Belgrade is always a progressive experience for me, since every year shows visible progress over the last one, more than just economic progress.
It should be very exciting to watch the development of Serbia over the next couple of years. I have no doubt that it will be the leader in the development of the Balkans.
