BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia's probable next prime minister set a mid-July target to overhaul laws on labour, bankruptcy and privatisation under his reformist agenda after winning a parliamentary majority unseen since the days of strongman Slobodan Milosevic.

Reaffirming his commitment to a new IMF loan deal, Aleksandar Vucic, leader of the centre-right Progressive Party, said on Monday that "as far as I am concerned" 29-year-old Yale graduate Lazar Krstic would remain as finance minister.
