Serbia’s First Gay Prime Minister Wins Second Term
Serbia’s current Prime Minister, Ana Brnabic, will form a government for a second term. Brnabic is Serbia’s first female and openly gay Prime Minister who has been fighting for Serbia's interests during her term in office.
“Brnabic didn't use her term of office to benefit foreign or local power centers, she just fought for the interests of this country," said Vucic who is also the leader of the Serbian Progressive Party and holds the ultimate power behind the administration.
As ‘The Logical Indian’ reports, Vucic added that he asked Brnabic to choose half of the new cabinet but mentioned that women may make up half of the appointments. “The new government will have three main goals, namely to strengthen the country in the fields of the economy, health, and defence,” said Vucic.
Brnabic, who is a graduate of the University of Hull in England, is the Balkan nation's first gay PM and first female PM.
Brnabic was a surprise choice for premier in 2017 when Vucic gave up the post to become President. Initial negativity in the traditionally conservative Serbian society soon subsided as the powerful President strongly endorsed her as a non-partisan, UK-educated leader.
