Political system, governance structure, stability indicators, and democratic institutions
Serbia is a parliamentary republic dominated by President Aleksandar Vučić and his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), which controls the government, parliament, and influences the judiciary despite a nominally ceremonial presidential role. The current government under Prime Minister Đuro Macut, appointed in April 2025, faces ongoing student protests sparked by a deadly infrastructure collapse linked to corruption allegations.
