Serbia's new government will include former intelligence chief Aleksandar Vulin, a politician who supports close ties with Russia and whom the United States has declared non-grata. The announcement was made on Tuesday by the mandated prime minister for the formation of the new government, Milosh Vucevic.

Aleksandar Vulin will serve as one of several deputy prime ministers, Milosh Vucevic said, while announcing the composition of his next cabinet, which is expected to be voted on in parliament in the coming days.

Serbia is officially seeking membership of the European Union, but has maintained friendly relations with Russia and has refused to join Western sanctions against Moscow over its attack on Ukraine.

The inclusion of Aleksandar Vulini in the new government suggests the strengthening of ties with Russia despite Serbia's officially declared pro-EU path.

The opposition party Movement of Free Citizens said that with the inclusion of Aleksandar Vulini in the new government, "Serbia is officially no longer on the European path".

The Liberal Party said his appointment heralds "international isolation, conflicts in the region, ties to Russia and a blow to all civil liberties in our country".

In July, Washington imposed sanctions on Aleksandar Vulini, accusing him of illegal arms transport, drug trafficking and abuse of public office.

The US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control said he used his position to help a US-sanctioned Serbian arms dealer move illegal arms shipments across Serbia's borders. The American authorities accuse Aleksandar Vulini of involvement in a drug trafficking network.

Aleksandar Vulin resigned as director of the Serbian Intelligence Agency (BIA) after sanctions were imposed on him. He had previously also served as the chief of the army and the police.

He recently received two medals of honor from Russia, one from the Russian Federal Security Service and the other from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Miloš Vučević, nominated for the post of Prime Minister, previously served as the Minister of Defense of Serbia.

His appointment followed a tense election process in December, where President Aleksandar Vucic's ruling populist right-wing party won a majority of seats in the 250-member parliament.

The election fueled political tensions due to reports of mass irregularities reported by domestic and international observers. After the elections, the opposition organized protests.
