Ana Brnabic: Gay partner of Serbian PM gives birth
20 February 2019
Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic's gay partner has given birth in what the PM's office said was a first for a world leader.
A statement said the birth mother, Milica Djurdjic, and baby, reportedly a boy named Igor, were "doing fine".
Ms Brnabic, 43, became both Serbia's first female and first gay prime minister in June 2017.
Her appointment was seen as a surprise move for the Balkan nation where same-sex marriage is not recognised.
"Ana Brnabic is one of the first prime ministers whose partner has given birth while in office... and the first in the world in a same-sex couple," the AFP agency quoted her office as saying.
