Glisic:There has been enough time to measure performance of every government minister

BELGRADE - There has been enough time to measure the performance of every government minister and assess whether they deserve a "pass" or PM Milos Vucevic's team needs to be "refreshed", says Serbian Minister for Public Investments Darko Glisic, who also heads the Executive Committee of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).

Glisic said the criteria for staying in the government would become known in two or three months and that the work of coalition partners and local officials would be under scrutiny as well.

Speaking to Tanjug, Glisic said the SNS had been making performance snapshots every year and demonstrating that it was the strictest "to itself" and to its officials whose work the people were not satisfied with.

That practice will be continued, he said.

"When we get to the reshuffle itself, nearly a year will have passed since the formation of the government, which is enough time to measure everyone's performance and make a judgement," he said.

Asked about changes that could be expected after the reshuffle, Glisic said the PM and the president of Serbia were the most competent to assess the work of every government minister and whether a "refreshment" was needed to achieve better results.
