The president of Serbia (Serbian: Председник Србије, romanized: Predsednik Srbije), officially styled as President of the Republic (Serbian: Председник Републике, romanized: Predsednik Republike), is the head of state of Serbia. The current officeholder is Aleksandar Vučić, who was elected in 2017 and has held the role since 31 May 2017.
According to the Constitution of Serbia, the president represents Serbia at home and abroad, proposes a candidate for the position of Prime Minister of Serbia to the National Assembly of Serbia, leads foreign policy by appointing and dismissing ambassadors, leads the Serbian Armed Forces, has limited executive powers, and can dissolve the National Assembly and schedule parliamentary elections. The president is assisted by the General Secretariat, which is made up of the general secretary and advisers, and is seated at the Novi Dvor in Belgrade. The president is elected in direct elections that are scheduled every five years, and can serve up to two five-year terms. The presidents term ends when it formally expires, or when the president resigns or is removed from the office by the National Assembly.
The office of the president of Serbia was created with the 1990 Serbian constitutional referendum; Slobodan Milošević was the first officeholder. Serbia's system until 2006 was semi-presidential, after which it became parliamentary. The president can be replaced by the president of the National Assembly for up to three months if the president resigns or is removed from office or is unable to perform duties. Former presidents of Serbia and Serbian presidents of Serbia and Montenegro have the right to hold the title Former President of the Republic, attend state ceremonials, and for up to six months after the end of their term can keep receiving 80% of their presidential salary.
