U svojoj ostavci, Branković je prema izvještajima od predsjednice Krišto zatražio da se omogući bilo ministru finansija Vjekoslavu Bevandi bilo ministru kulture Gavrilu Grahovcu da tokom prijelaznog perioda preuzmu njegove dužnosti, jer on želi odmah uzeti odmor.
In his letter of resignation, Brankovic reportedly asked Kristo that either Finance Minister Vjekoslav Bevanda or Culture Minister Gavrilo Grahovac be allowed to take over his duties during the transition period, as he wanted to take a vacation immediately.
