The prime minister-designate for the new Serbian government is Đuro Macut.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said this tonight at a press conference.

The deadline for electing a new government in the National Assembly of Serbia expires on April 18th at midnight.

"My recommendation to the prime minister is that he himself choose people who want to fight and who want to push the country forward," Vučić said.

He said that Serbia needs unity, peace and stability. He assessed that due to internal tensions in society, "we fail to see all the risks and challenges we face."

He also warned of the difficult political situation in the region, especially in Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"Our country and our Serbia need unity, peace and stability. Due to the tensions that exist in our society, we are unable to see all the dangers and problems. The situation in the region is very difficult, especially the political situation in Republika Srpska and BiH, where verdicts have been issued against the president and speaker of the National Assembly and the prime minister," Vučić said.

Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević resigned from that position on January 28th.

Macut is an endocrinologist, academic and clinician, born in Belgrade. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, where he later received his master's degree and then his doctorate, earning the title of Doctor of Medical Sciences.

He is a full professor of internal medicine and endocrinology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade. In clinical practice, he is the Deputy Director of the Clinic for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases at the University Clinical Center of Serbia, as well as the Head of the Department of Endocrine Tumors at the same clinic. His professional career includes many years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases, with a special focus on reproductive endocrinology and neuroendocrinology.

N1 reports that Macut is one of the leading experts in Serbia in the field of endocrinology. His research mainly deals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), neuroendocrine tumors and metabolic disorders. He is the author of over 140 scientific papers published in international journals indexed on the SCI list, and his works are highly cited, which testifies to his international influence. He is an active member of numerous professional associations, including European and world endocrinological societies, and often appears as a guest lecturer at international congresses.

In addition to his clinical and scientific work, Macut is also known for his education of young doctors and residents, contributing to the development of endocrinology in Serbia. His work has been recognized both nationally and internationally, making him one of the key figures in this medical discipline in the region.

Macut, N1 reports, became known to the wider public after he gave a lecture to students who wanted to study at Pionirski Park. On that occasion, he said that he hoped they would soon return to their university seats and stressed that politics should not be a part of universities.
