Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic said that there will be a government reshuffle by the end of the month, because the government "needs new energy and new people."

He said he is still deliberating whether to simply replace some ministers, or if a reshuffle, which would entail merging some ministries, is necessary.

"I am leaning toward the latter and I will make my decision by the end of the month," Cvetkovic told the Friday edition of the Belgrade daily Press, and added that he sees no reason why members of G17 Plus, whose leader Mladjan Dinkic is no longer a cabinet member, could not keep their seats in the new government, in line with the coalition agreement.
