Serbia's president since 2017, he traveled from the far-right fringe in the Milošević era - when he censored journalists as information minister - to the center of power in a state caught between Europe, Russia, and its own unresolved past.

About this person

Born in Belgrade in 1970, Vučić trained as a lawyer and entered politics in 1993 through the far-right Serbian Radical Party, rising to secretary-general by 1995. Appointed information minister in 1998, he introduced restrictive measures against journalists and banned foreign broadcasters until Milošević fell in 2000. After years in opposition, he and Tomislav Nikolić split from the radicals to form the Serbian Progressive Party in 2008. The SNS won the 2012 election, installing Vučić as first deputy prime minister and party leader - the real center of gravity in a government he didn't nominally lead. He became prime minister in 2014, opened EU accession chapters in 2015, and won the presidency in 2017. He signed economic normalization deals with Kosovo, launched the Open Balkan initiative, and steered a line between Brussels, Moscow, and Beijing - credited by supporters for economic growth and pragmatism, accused by critics of eroding press freedom and democratic norms.
