On 31 May 2017 Aleksandar Vučić was inaugurated president of Serbia after the April 2017 election.

Context

Ana Brnabić became prime minister. She is an unresolved person candidate. This run does not mint her. A certified oath is procedure, not a unique 2017 GDP print.

April election; 31 May oath; later 2022 re-election. Store 31 May as the opening certificate. Keep Aleksandar Vučić is inaugurated president of Serbia on 2017-05-31 separate from neighbouring 2017 oath, 2022 sanctions line, 1 November 2024 canopy, and 27 June 2026 announcement instruments.

The president of Serbia is head of state; the prime minister is formally head of government. SNS practice concentrates power. That office is not authorship of every Chinese contractor’s bolt, not a completed manslaughter conviction, and not a completed resignation without a gazette.

Why it matters

The path is electoral integrity: a completed certified presidential oath, not later canopy or sanctions instruments.

What the sources establish

Predsednik Republike Srbije carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: Vučić was inaugurated president on 31 May 2017 after a certified April election.

The election commission certified. Ana Brnabić later headed government and is unresolved.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Aleksandar Vučić is inaugurated president of Serbia, not a later speech about Aleksandar Vučić is inaugurated president of Serbia.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He took the oath. The election commission certified. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
