BELGRADE, April 15 (Hina) - Serbia-Montenegro's Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic resigned from his post on Wednesday.#L# "Several months ago, I promised that I would resign after an agreement on my successor was reached," Svilanovic told Radio B92.

The President of Serbia and Montenegro, Svetozar Marovic, yesterday sent the state parliament a proposal for the election of new members of the Council of Ministers, the country's government, proposing that Prvoslav Davinic, a member of G17 Plus party, be elected defence minister, and that Vuk Draskovic, leader of the Serb Revival Movement, be elected foreign minister.

The Serbia-Montenegro parliament will discuss government reshuffles tomorrow. (Hina) rml
