Prime Minister of Serbia

The prime minister of Serbia (; feminine: премијерка/premijerka), formally the president of the Government of the Republic of Serbia (; feminine: председница/predsednica) is the head of government of Serbia. The role of the prime minister is to direct the work of the Government, and submits to the National Assembly the government's program, including a list of proposed ministers. 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 the president of the Republic and the president of the National Assembly.

The first officeholder was Matija Nenadović, who became president of the Serbian Governing Council on 27 August 1805. The current prime minister, Đuro Macut was nominated by the president of the Republic, Aleksandar Vučić, and elected and appointed along with his cabinet by the National Assembly on 16 April 2025.

History During the period of Revolutionary Serbia, the title of the principal executive minister was President of the Serbian Governing Council (Председник правитељствујушчег совјета сербског / Predsednik praviteljstvujuščeg sovjeta serbskog). Initially the Council had no ministers, just members, but in 1811 modern ministries were created in the cabinet of Karađorđe Petrović. Government ceased to exist with the collapse of the First Serbian Uprising on 3 October 1813, however later continued in exile from 1813 until 1814.

Government was restored on 21 November 1815 following the Second Serbian Uprising. Head of government was styled Prince'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 Prince Miloš Obrenović.

From 1861 until 1903, the head of government was styled President of the Ministry (Председник министарства / Predsednik ministarstva).

From 1903 until the creation of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes on 1 December 1918, head of government was styled President of the Council of Ministers (Председник Министарског савета / Predsednik Ministarskog saveta).

Under the communist regime, after the end of World War II, governments were headed by President of the Government until 1953 and President of the Executive Council until 1990.

With the adoption of the Constitution in 1990 and restoration of multi-party system, the title is changed back to President of the Government, but the term Prime Minister is colloquially used.
