The new government, led by economist Milojko Spajic of the Europe Now Movement, will have 19 ministers and five deputy prime ministers.

It will include the center-right pro-European Democrats, the pro-Serbian Socialist People's Party and five minority Albanian parties.

"Our four main foreign policy priorities are full membership in the EU, active and reliable membership in NATO, improving good relations with neighbors and strengthening the country's role in multilateral organizations," Spajic told lawmakers .
