A new prime minister must be appointed by April 18 to form a new Serbian government. If the government fails to find a prime minister, the country will go to new elections. The opposition would boycott these elections and student-led protests would expand even further. According to the newspaper "Danas", Serbian autocrat Aleksandar Vučić is considering importing a candidate for prime minister from the Serbian diaspora in the United States.
According to "Danas", these are Branko Milanović, Desko Nikitović and Ivan Trifunović from the Pupin Initiative. This organization deals with deepening relations between the US and Serbia. Sources of the newspaper "Danas" say that Nikitović, an American raised in Chicago, executive chairman of East Point Metals Ltd., currently has the best chances and is supported more by officials from Vučić's party.
He was born in 1960 in Arilje in southwestern Serbia. He graduated from the Faculty of Law in Belgrade in 1989. He actively supported the democratization of Serbia through participation in the opposition movement from 1987 to 1990. In 1990, he emigrated to the United States of America.
Second on the list, writes "Danas", is Branko Milanovic, one of the world's leading economists. Recently, he has received criticism on the X platform due to his criticism of the protests and for his statements that no government is bad enough to cause a "civil war".
Ivan Trifunović is especially well-known to the public in Serbia, who was presented at the business forum in Kopaonik as a proven leader in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.
The Serbian opposition and some protesters are calling for a transitional government of experts that would prepare elections within 9 to 12 months. Vucic has vowed not to allow such an option. (A2 Televizion)
