Hey folks! Big news from Serbia—President Aleksandar Vucic has nominated Djuro Macut, a 62-year-old endocrinologist, as the new prime minister. With an impressive track record as a professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade and deputy director at the Clinic for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, Macut brings a unique blend of medical expertise and leadership skills to the table.
The nomination is pending parliamentary approval, with a deadline set for April 18. Vucic praised Macut for his dedication and competence, emphasizing that his appointment is aimed at raising living standards and propelling key projects in healthcare, education, science and technology, infrastructure, energy, agriculture, tourism, and environmental protection.
Vucic also highlighted preparations for Expo 2027 in Belgrade, a major milestone that promises to boost investment and spotlight Serbia on the global stage. In his own words, Macut is expected to lead a proactive government that doesn’t shy away from challenges—much like the dynamic, fast-paced spirit we see in tech hubs across South and Southeast Asia 🚀.
Following the resignation of Milos Vucevic amid the tragic Novi Sad railway incident last year, this nomination marks a pivotal moment for Serbia. All eyes are now on Macut as he gears up to steer the country through complex regional pressures and economic hurdles while balancing European integration with strong ties to its traditional Eastern partners.
