ROME, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi brought amusement to a Friday photo op in Rome by distancing himself from a much taller Serbian official.
Berlusconi, who is known for his short height, noticed Serbian Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovic standing next to -- and partially over -- him during the photo session and playfully rearranged the order of the officials to put Sutanovic on the end, ANSA reported Friday.
The prime minister, known for joking during formal occasions, then garnered amusement from the crowd by replacing Sutanovic with the much shorter Serbian interior minister, Ivica Dacic.
