Contents

[edit] Heads of Government

In medieval period, like in the rest of the European states, the most important member of the ruling circle surrounding the ruler, was the finance secretary. In Serbia, such person was styled Protovestijar (Cyrillic: Протовестијар) after the Byzantine example. Later, the style was changed from the Greek to the Serbian Riznički čelnik (Cyrillic: Ризнички челник ) or the Treasurer (literally guardian of the vault). The treasurers were usually from the cities on the Adriatic coast, like Dubrovnik, or the famed Buća family from Kotor. The importance of the office can be seen from the XIV century Serbian proverb, ruled by the emperor Dušan the Mighty: Car dâ, Buća ne da (The emperor gives the money, Buća stops it).

First modern-style Serbian government was established on August 27, 1805, during the First Serbian Uprising, and was called Praviteljstvujušči Sovjet (Serbian Cyrillic: Правитељствујушчи Совјет ) or Administering Council, while the title of the head of government was President of the Administering Council. Government ceased to exist with the collapse of the First Serbian Uprising on October 3, 1813, however later continued in Hotin exile (Russia) 1813-1814. Initially the Council had no ministers, just members, but in 1811 modern ministries were created.

Government was restored on November 21, 1815 with the Second Serbian Uprising. Head of government was styled Prince's Representative (Knjaževski predstavnik; Cyrillic: Књажевски представник ). The style remained official until 1861, even after the establishing of constitutional government in 1835. Prior to that date, the office was of no major importance or influence and depended solely on the will of the prince Miloš Obrenović.

In 1861-1903, the head of government was styled President of the Ministry (Predsednik ministarstva; Cyrillic: Председник министарства).

From 1903 until the creation of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (future Yugoslavia) on December 1, 1918, head of government was styled President of the Ministerial Council (Predsednik ministarskog saveta; Cyrillic: Председник министарског савета).

Serbia had no government of its own until May 4, 1941 when Germans, after occupation and dismemberment of Yugoslavia, set a quisling government. Initially, the head of government was styled President of the Council of the Commissars until August 29, 1941, and then President of the Ministerial Council of Serbian Government of National Salvation until October 5, 1944.

Under the Communist regime, Serbia got a sort of separate government opposed to the German-installed one in September 1941. First, the 'head of government' was styled President of the Executive Council of the Supreme National Liberational Council until April 7, 1945. On that day, a ministry for Serbia was created within the government of Yugoslavia (as for all the other five republics), with Minister for Serbia being in charge of creating first real government of post-War Serbia, which took place on April 9, 1945. Governments were headed by President of the Government until February 3, 1953, President of the Executive Council until January 15, 1991 and again President of the Government since then, but the term Prime Minister is colloquialy used (especially including media) since the government of Dragutin Zelenović in 1991. In some later articles about the recent history of Serbia, term is retroactively applied to Stanko Radmilović, Desimir Jevtić and even back to Ivan Stambolić's government.

In Serbia the Julian Calendar (Old Style) was in official use until 1919, but all dates of office in the lists below are given by the Gregorian Calendar (New Style).
