A special Assembly session will be held on Wednesday and PM-designated Brnabic will formally present the formation of the new cabinet.
According to the plans, Vice-president of the Socialist Party of Serbia, Brank Ruzic, will be the new Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, a position previously held by PM-designate Brnabic.
Former Belgrade city Secretary Goran Trivan will be the Minister of Ecology.
Leader of the pro-Russian Serbian People’s Party, Nenad Popovic, will be the Minister without portfolio in charge of innovation. Popovic’s People’s Party was on the election list of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party.
