Although he himself announced a few months ago that he would not be a minister in the new Serbian government, the fact that Rasim Ljajić did not end up on the list for Ana Brnabić’s new cabinet left few indifferent.
As a joke, in fact, only social media users had a lot of fun with this information, so the comments were hilarious for days, from “hold the legend” to “how to explain to a child who is no longer Minister”.
Indeed, Rasim Ljajic has held more ministerial positions than ever, a more resonant and less resonant politician in the past two decades, holding the ministerial chair in as many as six governments and, when he adds all that time, he was a minister for 13 years.
According to that, he is an absolute record holder, and no one can come close to him and, for now, break that “record record”.
Ljajic was elected minister for the first time in 2007, when he headed the Ministry of Labor, where he served two terms. He changed departments in Ivica Dačić’s government in 2012, thus becoming Minister of Commerce and Telecommunications, and has been in that position all these years, concluding with tomorrow, when he will officially leave.
However, he is not alone in joining several Serbian governments, one after another.
He is followed by the newly appointed Speaker of the Serbian Assembly, Ivica Dačić, whose ministerial experience lasts for exactly a decade. As the leader of the Socialists, he was an indispensable part of the five previous governments.
He was part of Mirko Cvetković’s cabinet for the first time, from 2008 to 2012, when he headed the Ministry of the Interior. In the following term he was head of government, and from 2014 to the present he has been Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Immediately behind Dacic is the now somewhat forgotten former staff of G17 Plus, namely the URS, Tomica Milosavljevic, who was Minister of Health for a full nine years, and in five governments, from 2002 to 2011. Since leaving office Milosavljevic has been doing what is his main job: he is a doctor in a hospital in Belgrade.
Zorana Mihajlović and Aleksandar Antić each spent eight years in ministerial positions, leading the transport and infrastructure and energy departments. However, when things are now, Antic is still leaving the government and heading to “Serbian Corridors”, while Mihajlovic is enrolled in another ministerial mandate, where he will assume his department.
With eight years of ministerial experience, the leader of New Serbia is Velimir Ilic, who was a member of both the government of Vojislav Kostunica and the government of Ivica Dacic.
Former DS ministers are also on the “long-lived” list, more for the number of governments they have been in than for the years they have held those positions: seven.
One of them is Slobodan Milosavljevic, who was Prime Minister of Trade, Tourism and Services (January 2001 to March 2004), then Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (May 2007 to July 2008), and then returned . in his first apartment, where he remained until 2011.
The same goes for Božidar Đelić, who was Minister of Finance and Economy in the Government of Zoran Đinđić, more precisely from 2001 to 2004. From 2007 to 2008, he was Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia. After the early elections of 2008, Djelic held the position of Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, and held the position of Minister of Science and Technological Development in the same Government until March 2011, when he was relieved of his duties.
Mladjan Dinkic is also in this “team”, which changed several governments, but always kept his portfolio – finance and economy (from March 2004 to October 2006, as Minister of Economy in the governments of Kostunica and Cvetkovic, and one year in the government of Ivica Dačić).
