A Look Back: History of the Office

The role of Serbia's top government leader has changed names many times over the years. Let's explore how it developed.

Early Leaders: Revolutionary Serbia (1805–1813)

During the time of Revolutionary Serbia, the main leader was called the President of the Governing Council. This council started without ministers, but later, modern ministries were created in 1811. This government stopped working when the First Serbian Uprising ended in 1813.

Princes and Ministries: Principality of Serbia (1815–1882)

The government was restarted in 1815 after the Second Serbian Uprising. The head of government was then known as the Prince's Representative. This title was used until 1861. Before that, the role wasn't very powerful and depended on the Prince's wishes.

From 1861 to 1903, the leader was called the President of the Ministry.

Kingdom Years: Serbia (1882–1918)

When Serbia became a kingdom, the title changed again. From 1903 until the creation of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1918, the head of government was known as the President of the Council of Ministers.

Modern Serbia: From 1945 Onwards

After 1945, under a new political system, Serbia got its own government. The leader was first called the President of the Executive Council of the Supreme National Liberational Council. Then, a "Minister for Serbia" was in charge of forming the first post-war government.

From 1945 to 1953, leaders were called President of the Government. After that, they were known as President of the Executive Council until 1991. Since 1991, the official title has been President of the Government again. However, people often use the term Prime Minister in everyday talk and in the news.
