Theprime minister of Serbia (Serbian:премијер Србије,romanized: premijer Srbije;feminine: премијерка/premijerka), formally thepresident of the Government of the Republic of Serbia (Serbian:председник Владе Републике Србије,romanized: predsednik Vlade Republike Srbije; feminine: председница/predsednica) is thehead of theGovernment ofSerbia.[1]: 38 The role of theprime minister is to direct the work of the government, and submits to theNational Assembly thegovernment's program, including a list of proposedministers. The resignation of the prime minister results in the dismissal of the government. In the formal order of precedence, the position of prime minister is the third highest state office, after thepresident of the Republic and thepresident of the National Assembly.
The first officeholder wasMatija Nenadović, who became president of the Serbian Governing Council on 27 August 1805.[2] The current prime minister,Đuro Macut was nominated by the president of the Republic,Aleksandar Vučić, and elected and appointed along withhis cabinet by the National Assembly on 16 April 2025.[3]
During the period ofRevolutionary Serbia, the title of the principal executive minister wasPresident of the Serbian Governing Council (Председник правитељствујушчег совјета сербског /Predsednik praviteljstvujuščeg sovjeta serbskog).[4][5][6][7] Initially the Council had no ministers, just members, but in 1811 modernministries were created in thecabinet ofKarađorđe Petrović. Government ceased to exist with the collapse of theFirst Serbian Uprising on 3 October 1813, however later continued in exile from 1813 until 1814.
Government was restored on 21 November 1815 following theSecond Serbian Uprising. Head of government was styledPrince's Representative (Књажевски представник /Knjaževski predstavnik). The style remained official until 1861, even after the establishing of constitutional government in 1835. Prior to that date, the office was of no major importance or influence and depended solely on the will of the PrinceMiloš Obrenović.
From 1861 until 1903, the head of government was styledPresident of the Ministry (Председник министарства /Predsednik ministarstva).
From 1903 until thecreation of theKingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes on 1 December 1918, head of government was styledPresident of the Council of Ministers (Председник Министарског савета /Predsednik Ministarskog saveta).
Under thecommunist regime, after the end ofWorld War II, governments were headed byPresident of the Government until 1953 andPresident of the Executive Council until 1990.
With the adoption of the Constitution in 1990 and restoration ofmulti-party system, the title is changed back toPresident of the Government, but the term Prime Minister is colloquially used.
