Aleksandar Vučic

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic took over as head of state in the spring of 2017. The victory in the main political race was preceded by a long and controversial biography. Having started working as a journalist, Vucic became interested in politics and in 1998 was appointed Minister of Information in the Milosevic government.

After his resignation, he was in opposition to the current government for a long time and returned to state structures only 12 years later. Occupying alternately the posts of head of the Ministry of War, and then the government, he won the support of the country's population and was able to use it during the 2017 elections.

It was not by chance that Vucic took part in the Russian action "Immortal Regiment" in 2018: the catastrophe of the Second World War also affected his family. Vucic's relatives on his father's side were originally from Bosnia, but in the 40s they were forced to flee from the Ustasha fighters (a Croatian fascist organization) and settled in Belgrade. The persecutors killed many members of the Vucic family, including the paternal grandfather of the current President of Serbia.

Alexander Vucic was born in the capital of Yugoslavia much later than the tragic events - in 1970. The politician's birthday is March 5. His parents received an education in economics. Father Angelko Vucic worked in his specialty, mother Angelina (nee Milovanov) was engaged in journalism. After graduating from high school and gymnasium in Zemun (Belgrade district), Alexander decided to follow in her footsteps, although as a teenager he was fond of football and basketball.

He graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Belgrade. Studying English in Brighton (UK), for some time he was engaged in trade in London. Upon returning home, he decided to become a journalist. In the early 90s he worked in Sarajevo.

Among the heroes of his publications were such controversial political figures as ex-President of Serbia Radovan Karadzic, now sentenced to 40 years in prison for war crimes, and General Radko Mladic. Vucic then played a game of chess with the latter. It is noteworthy that the international trial of the military accused of genocide took place in the first year of Vucic's presidency, more than twenty years after the meeting with Mladic.

In 1993, the journalist Vucic went into politics, joining the Serbian radicals. Vojislav Seselj's party, formed two years earlier, promotes the idea of ​​creating a Greater Serbia with the support of Moscow. Soon, Vucic becomes the general secretary of the political association.

In 1996, the ultra-right wins the municipal elections in Zemun, Vojislav Seselj is the mayor, and Vucic is appointed director of the city-owned Pinki Hall sports and concert center. According to Wikipedia, in 2000 the Zemun administration changes the form of ownership of the institution, carries out corporatization and sells 49% of the oil company's shares.

The political views of the nationalist coincide with the main theses of state propaganda of the late 90s, and in 1998 Vucic received the post of Minister of Information in the government of Mirko Marjanovic under the presidency of Milosevic.

Twenty years later, Aleksandar Vucic admits that the media were oppressed by the unwanted authorities, and the pro-government media had to demonize national minorities and justify the violence against them by the Serbs. Vucic will also emphasize that he considers this to be his own political mistake and regrets it.

In 2000, Vucic leaves the post of minister, remaining a member of the radical party. In 2008, a split occurs in the association. Dissatisfaction with the refusal to join the European Union and disillusionment with nationalist politics lead to the fact that several party members leave it and form a new union. The created Serbian Progressive Party is headed by ex-radical Tomislav Nikolic. Soon Aleksandr Vučić joins her.

In 2012, Nikolic wins the presidential race and vacates the chair of the party, which by that time has the largest number of supporters in Serbia. Alexander Vucic becomes the leader. In the same summer, the politician enters the cabinet of ministers as the head of the defense department. After the parliamentary elections in 2014, he leads the government.

2017 becomes the most successful year in a politician's career. He wins the presidential elections, with 56% of voters on his side. The closest rival, independent candidate Sasha Yankovich, receives 16.63% of the vote. The inauguration took place on the last day of spring 2017.

Vucic outlined the main directions of foreign and domestic policy in his first speech. The new national leader said that Serbia will adhere to neutrality, so it will not join NATO, as well as create military alliances with Russia and China. The course towards rapprochement with the EU will continue.

Vucic appointed Anu Brnabic as Prime Minister of the newly formed government. She became the first woman in this position. The head of Serbia stressed that the country's government will not support sanctions against Russia.

In December of the same year, Vucic arrived in Moscow. During several meetings with Vladimir Putin, he spoke Russian. Speaking about the attitude towards Russia, the politician assured that Serbia is determined to further build an interstate dialogue.

Vucic's program of statements on the Kosovo issue has changed over the year. At first, the President-elect called for a general dialogue, promising to listen to representatives of all interested social and national groups. In January 2018, the leader of the Kosovo Serbs, politician Oliver Ivanovic, was shot dead in Kosovo.

The Serbian delegation interrupted the negotiations, which were mediated by Brussels, and Vucic said that the peaceful discussion of the problem would continue only after the assassination attempt was disclosed. Soon, Vucic visited Kosovo, where in an interview he said that Serbia will ensure the safety of its citizens living in this territory.

The head of Serbia is married for the second time, he has three children. The union with his first wife, journalist Ksenia Jankovic, Vucic entered into in 1997. They lived together for 14 years. In marriage, a son, Danilo, and a daughter, Milica, were born.

Two years after the divorce, he proposed to Tamara Djukanovic, an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In June 2017, Vucic's wife gave birth to a son, the boy was named Vukan.

The politician is known for his love for sports, left over from school. He admitted to reporters more than once that he loves to cheer for basketball and football teams. Known as a fan of "Red Star".

The Serbian president could play basketball himself: he stands out from other world leaders. Vucic's height is 199 cm. Russian politician Dmitry Rogozin once posted on Twitter a joint photo with a Serb, signing it:

In February 2018, the official account of Alexander Vucic appeared on Instagram, where photos from official events are posted.

The Serbian leader is a frequent visitor to Russia. He visited the country on May 9 and intends to arrive for the FIFA World Cup. On Russia Day, Vucic arrived on a visit to the country's embassy in Belgrade. On the same day, the politician met with the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. Several days later, he attended the launch of a gas pipeline laid through the territories of Azerbaijan and Turkey, bypassing Russia.

The issue of Kosovo remains on the agenda. The murder of Ivanovich remains unsolved, moreover, a journalist who was investigating the crime disappeared in Serbia. Vucic's reluctance to recognize Kosovo as an independent territory, he said, pushed the politician to a recent statement that Serbia does not recognize Crimea as part of Russia.

The opposition, represented by the radical party, called on the head of state to determine his attitude to the situation with Crimea. The association intends to achieve a vote in parliament to decide whether the Serbs should recognize the legal annexation of the peninsula to Russia or not.
