The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) came to power in 2012. Brnabić was appointed prime minister by Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia, in June 2017 and was elected shortly afterwards by the National Assembly. Initially an independent politician, she joined SNS in 2019; she was re-elected after the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election. After the snap 2022 parliamentary election, Vučić gave Brnabić another mandate to form a government and stated that she would serve for two years, instead of a regular four-year mandate. With the dissolution of the National Assembly on 1 November 2023, Brnabić's cabinet entered in acting capacity. As first deputy prime minister, Dačić took over the capacity of acting prime minister following Brnabić's election as president of the National Assembly in March 2024.

The cabinet is composed of members of SNS, Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina (DSHV), Party of United Pensioners of Serbia (PUPS), Social Democratic Party of Serbia (SDPS), and Justice and Reconciliation Party (SPP). The Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ) serves as confidence and supply for the government. With 29 ministers in total, it has the largest amount of ministers of any post-Milošević government.

The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) came to power after the 2012 parliamentary election, along with the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).[1] Ana Brnabić, an independent politician, was appointed prime minister by Aleksandar Vučić, who served as prime minister up until the April 2017 presidential election in June 2017, and was elected prime minister by the National Assembly in the same month.[2][3] Brnabić joined SNS in 2019, and was re-elected as prime minister after the 2020 parliamentary election.[4][5]

SNS placed first in the snap 2022 parliamentary election, although it lost its parliamentary majority.[6][7] Shortly after the election, Vučić announced that consultations regarding the formation of the government would begin.[8][9] The consultations lasted between 14 and 18 July.[10] Brnabić was given the mandate to form a new government on 27 August.[11] Additionally, Vučić also announced that Brnabić would head the government for two years, instead of a regular four-year mandate.[12]

Timeline

2022

The National Assembly adopted the Law on Ministries on 21 October 2022, which set the basis of the incoming 25 ministries of the third cabinet of Ana Brnabić.[31] 150 MPs voted in favour of the law.[32] The composition of the government was revealed by Aleksandar Vučić following a meeting at the SNS headquarters on 23 October 2022.[20] The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) noted that "those who were seen as pro-Russian... were cut off" although that Zorana Mihajlović, who was seen as pro-Western, was also dismissed, with BCSP claiming that it is related to "some concessions of the conservative part of SNS"; nevertheless, BCSP claimed that the government would not abandon "continuity" regarding foreign policy.[33] Bojan Klačar of CeSID noted that "with the entering of Tanja Miščević into the government, it is a sign that European Integrations could be more in focus than before".[34] Brnabić stated that "the government would be not pro-Western nor pro-Russian, and it would rather fight for its national interests".[35] The cabinet was elected and sworn in on 26 October 2022.[15][16] The government proposed the budget for year 2023 in November 2022 and the National Assembly adopted it on 9 December 2022, with 156 votes in favour.[36][37]

2023

Following the Belgrade school shooting, which occurred on 3 May, Ružić received criticism after claiming that "the cancerous, pernicious influence of Internet video games, so-called Western values, is evident in the shooting".[38] Opposition parties called for his resignation, including the Independent Union of Educators of Serbia.[39][40] He announced his resignation on 7 May and was dismissed from the position on 29 May.[41][42] Đorđe Milićević was appointed as acting minister of education on 31 May.[28] The government proposed Slavica Đukić Dejanović as Ružić's successor on 13 June and was elected by the National Assembly on 25 July.[29][43]

The United Serbia (JS), led by Dragan Marković, dismissed Rade Basta from the party due to his support for sanctioning Russia and him "being diametrically opposed to the JS program and the state and national policy implement by the government of Serbia" on 10 June 2023.[25][44] Basta formed the European Way Movement (PEP) on the same day.[45] Marković also told Basta to resign from his position as minister of economy, although he refused to; SPS and JS then submitted a proposal to dismiss Basta from the government on 22 June.[44] Siniša Mali took over the functions of the ministry, while the National Assembly dismissed Basta on 11 July.[26][46] Slobodan Cvetković was proposed as Basta's successor on 26 July.[47] Cvetković was elected on 6 September 2023.[27]
