Baker, doctor, pharmacist - anyone

The appointment of Dr. Matsuto to the post of prime minister is an example of severe political abuse of an obviously ambitious man, with very modest management experience and, possibly, convinced that he will at least be consulted here and there. But nothing depends on him, but nothing at all

Audition for VD Minister and deep state

In the era of Aleksandar Vučić, ministers are almost never the bearers of the policies of the ministries they head. Namely, the president of Serbia also has an incredible ability, which is to calculate the price of each person to whom he will offer a place in the government. It seems that consultations and postponing the formation of the cabinet until the last day serve this purpose - it takes time to make adequate "profiling"

The ongoing hearings with Aleksandar Vučić regarding the formation of the new government are not "consultations" at all. As far as the Constitution and the Law on the President of the Republic are concerned, no one is obliged to ask him for his opinion, he is informed when someone secures a majority for the formation of the Government, and then he must act according to the Constitution. Those who do not do so do not disparage the constitutional order in any way

Russia's troubles over the formation of the Government: Everything revolves around Dacic 

After the elections held on April 3, SNS cannot form either the republican or Belgrade government by itself. This is a new unpleasant reality for Aleksandar Vučić, who is not used to depending on coalition partners. Since the introduction of at least some sanctions against Russia seems likely due to the great pressure from the West, this further complicates the situation because Vučić can only count on parties with which he does not want to do business, and not even those with him - if Ivica Dacić does not change your mind
