Government of Serbia


The Government of Serbia, formally the Government of the Republic of Serbia, commonly abbreviated to Serbian Government, is the main executive branch of government in Serbia.
The Government is led by the President of the Government, informally abbreviated to premier or prime minister. The prime minister is nominated by the president of the Republic from among those candidates who enjoy majority support in the National Assembly; the candidate is then chosen by the Assembly. There are 30 other government members, serving as deputy prime ministers, government ministers or both; they are chosen by the prime minister and confirmed by the National Assembly. The current government is led by Prime Minister Đuro Macut.
The affairs of government are decided by the Cabinet of Ministers, which is the main executive body of the Government. It is composed of the prime minister and ministers and meets weekly at the Government Building in Belgrade, which houses the Office of the Prime Minister as well as the Secretariat-General of the Government.

Powers

The Government is the main executive power of the Serbian state. According to the Constitution of Serbia, the Government:
  • determines and guides internal and foreign policies;
  • executes laws adopted by the National Assembly;
  • adopts regulations and other acts for the purpose of executing laws;
  • proposes legislation to the National Assembly
  • directs and coordinates the work of state administration and supervises its work

    Composition

The government is headed by the prime minister. The prime minister has deputies, currently four, who also serve as government ministers; the first first deputy prime minister also discharges the duties of the prime minister when the latter is incapacitated or absent. There are other ministers, who are appointed by the prime minister with the approval of the National Assembly by absolute majority. The ministers, currently 25, head individual ministries charged with particular sectors of activities, with the exception of ministers without portfolio, currently five, who are not at the head of ministries. State secretaries, appointed by the Government for the term of the minister, are the highest officials below minister, responsible to the minister; there are one or more state secretaries in the ministries.
Besides the government ministries, there are numerous interministerial bodies that operate within the framework of the government and are directly subordinated to the Office of Prime Minister:
The incumbent cabinet was sworn on 16 April 2025 by a majority vote in the National Assembly. It is the first cabinet of Đuro Macut, who became the prime minister after Miloš Vučević resigned from the office due to 2024–present Serbian anti-corruption protests.
