On 26 May 2017, the local court in the western Serbian town of Valjevo restituted the historical memory (Serbian: rehabilitacija) of Second World War Chetnik military commander, Nikola Kalabić.
Although this story was not disseminated much further beyond the national and regional media, it still generated controversy and puzzled Serbian society. On 15 June, in a story which captivated the attention of international media and press, Ana Brnabić, a self-declared lesbian, was nominated by President Aleksandar Vučić for the post of Prime Minister.
