Serbia's PM Vucevic formally resigns, triggering 30-day deadline for new government

BELGRADE, March 19 (Reuters) - Serbia's parliament formally accepted the resignation of the Prime Minister Milos Vucevic on Wednesday, triggering a 30-day deadline for the formation of a new government or the calling of a snap election. 

Vucevic, the head of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and an ally of the populist President Aleksandar Vucic, resigned on January 28 amid protests sparked by the collapse of an awning at a train station in the northern city of Novi Sad last November in which 15 people died.
