Serbia Moves Forward with Government Formation Amid Consultations
Coalition partners narrow down candidate selection for new Prime Minister as consultations continue.
Miloš Vučević, the President of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), announced that his party, along with coalition partners involved in the recent elections, is in favor of forming a new government.
The selection for the Prime Ministerial candidate has been narrowed down to two individuals.
President Aleksandar Vučić is currently conducting consultations regarding the future Prime Minister of the new government.
Vučević indicated that within the next 24 to 36 hours, he would inform President Vučić of the name of the individual whom he believes should be entrusted with the mandate.
Following consultations with President Vučić, Vučević stated that a parliamentary majority exists, and he believes that there are both legal and legitimate grounds to elect a new government by April 18, the deadline set by law following the resignation of the previous Prime Minister.
Vučević also mentioned that the party's governing bodies will make the final decision regarding the Prime Ministerial candidate, with expectations that President Vučić will make an official announcement over the weekend.
He highlighted that the new Prime Minister will have a relatively short timeframe to consult with all parties and potential candidates for the new cabinet and government.
He remarked, “We are awaiting discussions within the SNS and with our coalition partners, as well as with partners who are expected to be part of the government and who participated in consultations with the President of the Republic and expressed a willingness to support and participate in the new government.” Vučević reiterated the coalition's stance that a new government should be selected rather than calling for new elections, emphasizing the commitment to ensure that the government is formed within the legally defined timeline.
