Serbia’s Vučić nominates ally Vučević as prime minister designate

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić on Saturday (30 March) nominated his close ally Milos Vučević to be prime minister and to lead a new government through a time of war in Europe and tensions with Kosovo.

The nomination comes more than three months after their party, the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), won the most votes in a national election on 17 December. Vučević took over leadership of the party after Vučić stepped down last year.

“I propose to parliament Milos Vučević as candidate for prime minister of Serbia,” Vučić wrote on Instagram.
