Maja Gojkovic first woman to head Vojvodina Government

In favor were 73 of the 120 members of the autonomous province’s Assembly.

Gojkovic thanked the Assembly members, stating that the trust she received was “a great obligation and great responsibility.”

Gojkovic, who is a member of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), said her government would “continue to strengthen the focus” on traffic and utility infrastructure, environmental protection, culture, social welfare protection and improvement of the vulnerable groups’ position.

“The Autonomous Province of Vojvodina will this way continue to be the driving force of overall development, in concert with the Serbian Government and all other levels of power in our country,” she said.

The new provincial government has 14 members, like the previous one, and includes almost half of the previous government members.
