On Saturday morning, Serbian Internet users were greeted by the news that popular American actress Jennifer Aniston posted a photo of Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić on her Instagram story.
Brnabić found herself in a series of photographs of prominent women in leading positions in politics, public life and activism from countries around the world.
"While the world is distracted by the noise of those who resist change, change is already happening," the actress wrote.
The first in a series of a few dozen photos features German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and then, among others, New Zealand Prime Minister Jasinda Ardern, Finnish Prime Minister Sana Marin, and Slovakian President Zuzana Caputova.
And of course - Kamala Harris, America's first vice president.
"Jennifer Aniston doesn't know that the country of Serbia exists, but she knows who Ana Brnabić is, think about it," it read one of many reactions on Twitter.
- Borat conquers the world again - where does Ana Brnabić and the Government of Serbia come from in all this?

What happened?
American actress, who on the eve of the election via Instagram gave open support to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, she used the profile to point out that women in important positions are key to changing the world.
"Empower women and change the world," Aniston wrote in one of her Instagram stories.
In addition to politicians, she also published photos of environmental activist Greta Turnberg, Pakistani activist Malala Yousufzai and poet Amanda Gorman, who spoke at Joe Biden's inauguration.
There is the former first lady of America Michelle Obama, actress and activist Jane Fonda, young American politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and many others.
Taiwan's president Tsai Ing-wen was also included in the Instagram tribute to influential women.
She said earlier this week that Taiwan is an independent country, although Chinese officials say otherwise, warning that "independence means war".
Why did Jennifer Aniston publish a picture of Ana Brnabić?
The star of the series Friends and the Prime Minister of Serbia do not follow each other on Instagram.
Why Aniston decided to include her in the publication dedicated to women who change the world - there is no reliable information.
It is not known whether the actress even follows politics in Serbia and other countries whose photos of female politicians she posted on Instagram.
Kamala Harris was recently elected as the first vice president of the USA, while as far as Serbia is concerned, the government led by Brnabić since last year, for the second time in his political career, has the most women represented since the introduction of multi-party system.
The Prime Minister of Serbia found herself on the social networks of world-famous stars for the second time.
At the end of October 2020, the fictitious movie character Borat started following the profile of Ana Brnabić on Twitter, in addition to the accounts of American officials, the Kremlin, institutions of countries from the Middle East, as well as the official account of the Serbian government.

- The largest number of women in the Government of Serbia since the beginning of the multi-party system
- All the lies of politicians in Serbia that marked the year 2020
What are the reactions?
Users on Twitter in Serbia do not miss anything, not even the opportunity to comment on the photo of the Prime Minister on the story of the American movie star.
Some seemed delighted. Especially because of the correctly spelled last name.

Others, however, had a somewhat different opinion and did not see the appearance of Ana Brnabić in Jennifer Aniston's story as good news.
What is the worse news today, did Ana Brnabic and Jennifer Aniston or Aleksandra Jerkov write barter?

Some believe that the actress probably does not know where Serbia is, which may indicate that she is not even familiar with local political events.

And there were those who were not very enthusiastic about the work of the Serbian prime minister, so they see the appearance of the actress as her "greatest success".
