Miss Serbia 2012 Resigns

QUITTING: Miss Serbia Nikolina Bocic resigned to the crown stating that she would not be able to fulfill the duties that the title requires.

24-year old Nikolina Bocic, who had won the crown of Miss Serbia 2012 last October 6th and earned to right to represent her country in Miss World 2013, has given up the title over claims that she was married to Canadian tennis player Frank Dancevic.

The company Miss Yu, organizers of the contest, explained to the media that Bojic willfully abdicated to the title and is no longer Miss Serbia. Her reasons for resignation were -as explained in a letter- that she does not meet the requirements and would not be able to fulfill the duties of Miss Serbia.

Organizers did not confirm if her abdication is related to claims about her being married. Organizers explained that they have an obligation with UK-based Miss World Limited and they have certain rules to follow. At the moment, they are having meetings with runner-ups Alexandra Doknic and Ana Vrcelj, and other girls from the Top 10, to see who is willing and best fit to inherit the Miss Serbia title.

Organizers said that although by rule, the crown should go to the runner-up, there are a lot of things at stake like work, university, family, among other factors.

The new Miss Serbia will be announced during a live TV press conference on Sunday, October 21st. The new winner will then go on to Indonesia, to compete in the Miss World 2013 competition.
