Radio Ham elected Serbian Prime Minister

The ARRL reports that former Serbian Internal Affairs Minister Ivica
Dačić, YU1YU, was elected as that country’s newest Prime Minister on
July 27

He succeeds Mirko Cvetković, who served as Serbia’s Prime Minister
from 2008-2012. Dačić is the leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia;
from 2008 until his election as Prime Minister, he served as First
Deputy Prime Minister, as well as Minister of Internal Affairs. In
March 2012, Serbia became a candidate for membership in the European
Union ( EU).

Dačić is a member of the Amateur Radio Union of Serbia ( SRS),
Serbia’s IARU Member-Society and is said to be a member of his local
club, YU1AAV. The club was founded in 1978 as one of nine sections of
the Novi Beograd (New Belgrade) Amateur Radio Club, YU1FJK. According
to its website, YU1AAV’s primary goal has been to teach kids Morse
code and Amateur Radio Direction Finding skills: “The 1990s brought us
war, sanctions and social crises, but it also brought the good
opportunity to move kids from the streets to learn ham radio. These
were the years when the most kids from neighborhood finished the
course to get their basic ham license.”

Prior to his election as Prime Minister, Dačić served as the spokesman
for the Socialist Party of Serbia ( SPS) from 1992-2000; he has served
as president of the SPS since December 2006. He holds a degree in
political science from the University of Belgrade. Fluent in both
Russian and English, Dačić is 46, married and the father of two
children.
