NOVI PAZAR, Serbia (Reuters) - Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic plans a new push to privatise loss-making state firms if he wins Sunday's election and will do everything needed to secure IMF approval for his economic policies, he told Reuters in an interview.

Polls indicate Vucic will secure a new four-year term in the general election, called two years early after the conservative leader said he needed a fresh mandate to pursue reforms and to complete recently started talks on joining the European Union.
