Kostunica, a moderate nationalist, is expected to head a minority coalition backed in parliament by ousted leader Slobodan Milosevic's Socialists. Yesterday, Kostunica said he hopes to form a government by the end of next week.
Kostunica helped in 2000 to oust Milosevic, who is now on trial in The Hague for war crimes related to the break-up of Yugoslavia. Kostunica replaced Milosevic, but later lost the presidency.
