Dacic confirmed as Serbian premier

Slobodan Milosevic’s former spokesman became Serbia’s new prime minister today, promising to promote reconciliation in the Balkans after his nomination triggered fears of resurgent nationalism in the volatile region.

The election marks the first time Milosevic’s former party and their allies will dominate the government since they ruled Serbia for a decade in the 1990s - an era marked with wars, international sanctions and economic downturn.
