Serbian President Vučić Anticipates Naming New Prime Minister
Amid ongoing political consultations, Vučić shares insights on potential candidates for the new government.
President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, announced on the evening of April 3, 2025, that he expects to reveal the name of the new prime minister by Saturday afternoon.
In his statement regarding the selection of the prime minister, Vučić noted a dilemma within the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) concerning two candidates: one being a party member and the other an independent figure.
He anticipates that he will be informed about the decision by tomorrow evening, allowing the party to finalize its choice ahead of the official announcement.
Once a candidate is named, there will be a ten-day period for the proposed government to be formed and subsequently voted on in the National Assembly.
Vučić expressed hope that the government formation process will not extend to April 18, which falls on Good Friday.
Meanwhile, protests have continued across Serbia, with citizens engaging in demonstrations for several consecutive days.
In Čačak, a significant number of residents blocked a key roundabout for the fourth consecutive evening, voicing their grievances related to the lack of accountability for recent violent incidents involving a professor and his family, and unfulfilled student demands.
The protestors utilized whistles and pots to create noise, while the police managed traffic in the area.
In Šabac, a tense situation arose during a city council meeting when protestors attempted to enter the building.
Security personnel prevented the entry, leading to a chaotic scuffle where protestors threw eggs at security staff.
The demonstration was organized in support of employees at the local theatre and aimed at presenting a petition for the dismissal of the theatre's acting director.
The council meeting in Šabac included 24 agenda items, such as decisions on air quality planning and local employment action plans.
The political landscape remains charged as Vučić engages in consultations with smaller parties about the new government, while opposition groups continue to reject his invitation for dialogue, advocating instead for a transitional government to resolve the ongoing political crisis, which they deem necessary for restoring public trust and ensuring fair elections.
