Kostunica nominated candidates for his cabinet in parliament on

government later today.#L#
Miroljub Labus of the G17 Plus party was nominated deputy prime
minister.
Should parliament adopt Kostunica's proposal, the new Serbian
government will be a minority government comprised of four parties
with the support of Slobodan Milosevic's Socialist Party of Serbia.
Addressing the MPs, Kostunica said he would form a "reformist
government" whose priority would be to ensure the stability of the
domestic currency. He said the government would work on the country's
drawing closer to European associations. Commenting on the cooperation
with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia,
Kostunica said the new government would advocate "a two-way
cooperation".
"We will try to meet all the conditions so that ICTY indictees are
tried before domestic courts," he said and added that ICTY indictees
would be provided with adequate legal counselling. Kostunica said the
government would try to sign an agreement with the UN under which ICTY
convicts would serve their sentences in prisons in Serbia and
Montenegro.
