Ana Brnabić Takes Over as Acting President Following Vučić's Resignation, Making Serbia First Balkan Nation with Openly Gay Head of State

Following the resignation of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, Ana Brnabić, the current head of the National Assembly and former prime minister, has officially assumed the duties of acting president until a new president is elected, making Serbia the first Balkan nation in history to have an openly gay head of state; having previously served as prime minister from 2017 to 2024, Brnabić's constitutional transition to the presidency marks a significant political milestone for executive leadership and minority representation in the historically conservative Balkan region.
