The Serbian parliament approved a coalition government on Thursday, which newly elected Prime Minister Milos Vucevic described as a "government of continuity" that will lead the Balkan country through geopolitical challenges and tensions with Kosovo. Most of ministers in the 31-member government come from the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) that won the most votes in a national election last December and five smaller parties that form a ruling coalition, with one third of them being newcomers. The government, which was approved with 152 deputies in the 250-seat parliament, also include two pro-Russian politicians the U.S. imposed sanctions on for corrupt activities and a leader of a far-right party that did not get enough votes to enter the parliament.
