Abstract

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has nominated Djuro Macut, a university lecturer and physician, as the new prime minister following protests triggered by a deadly roof collapse at a train station. Macut, 61, is expected to lead with the support of Vucic's Progressive party and allies, pending parliamentary approval by April 18. The protests, led by students and opposition parties, aim to challenge Vucic's political dominance, with accusations of corruption and incompetence in the government. The economy is also facing challenges, with growth slowing to an estimated 3% in the first quarter. [Extracted from the article]
