The candidate for Prime Minister of Serbia, Djuro Macut, has submitted his proposal for the composition of the new government to the National Assembly. The proposal includes ten new names, though some familiar faces are also among the ministerial candidates.
In the new government, which will be headed by Djuro Macut, Milos Vucevic, who served as Prime Minister in the previous term, and Aleksandar Vulin, who was Deputy Prime Minister in charge of overseeing projects across multiple ministries in coordination with the President, will not be part of the cabinet.
Former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Environmental Protection Irena Vujovic will also not be leading any ministries in the new government. The Environmental Protection portfolio will now be taken over by Sara Pavkov, who previously worked in the Ministry as a special advisor.
Amid student protests, there is a major change at the helm of the Ministry of Education. Instead of Slavica Djukic Dejanovic, the new minister will be Dejan Vuk Stankovic, a full-time professor at the Faculty for the Education of Teachers in Belgrade. He is often featured in the media as a political analyst and has also been nominated for the REM Council.
Dejan Ristic will not continue as Minister of Information and Telecommunications; he will be replaced by Boris Bratina, an associate professor at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Pristina, temporarily located in Kosovska Mitrovica.
Aleksandar Martinovic, previously Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management, is also out. His position will be taken over by Dragan Glamocic, who held the same role in Ivica Dacic’s government in 2013. Glamocic has been working at the Faculty of Agriculture since 1996 and was appointed as an advisor to President Aleksandar Vucic last year.
