A Serbian heart doctor appears to have set a few pulses racing after winning a medal in a bikini competition. Trainee cardiologist Maja Pavlovic, 23, reportedly won the medal in the European leg of the Women's Bikini Fitness Contest in Spain. Not content however with being a medical student and a beauty contestant, Ms Pavlovic is also a politician for the ruling Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS). She was elected as a councilor in her home city of Cacak in southern Serbia, and says she hopes to develop her political career alongside her work in medicine. Ms Pavlovic is currently in her fifth and final year of medical school in the central Serbian town of Kragujevac and is now practicing on patients as part of her final exams.
