Gay partner of Serbian PM gives birth to a baby boy

Serbia’s openly gay Prime Minister Ana Brnabic’s office says that her same-sex partner has given birth to a baby boy. It was reported that the the delivery was on Wednesday and the mother, Milica Djurdjic, and the baby are doing fine.

Ana Brnabic is serving as the Prime Minister of Serbia since 29 June 2017. She is the first woman, first openly gay person and first person with Croat ethnic descent to hold the office. Milica Đurđić, the same sex partner of Ana Brnabic works as a doctor and became pregnant though artificial insemination. They both met each other at a gay bar in the capital, Belgrade.

Serebia is a liberal nation and homosexuality is common here. Ana Brnabic has not been a vocal advocate on LGBT issues in a country where homophobia is widespread. LGBT persons in Serbia may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity are legal in Serbia, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is banned. Nevertheless, households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples.
