Serbia elects new government

Members of Serbia's parliament vote in a public ballot on Serbia's new government. 152 voted in favor, 61 against and no abstentions.

The Prime Minister will be Milos Vucevic and the Deputy Prime Minister will be Aleksandar Vulin, former Director of the Serbian Security and Information Service /BIA/.

In 2023, Aleksandar Vulin was blacklisted by the US for illegal arms trafficking, corruption and conducting Russian interests in the Balkans, and within the same year he was awarded the Order of the Russian Federation, personally by the director of the Russian Federal Security Service and a general in the Russian army, Aleksandar Bortnikov. Vulin, until recently the head of the BIA, has been described as the right-hand man of President Aleksandar Vucic.
