61 say so in their biography. 12 more are docents or professors in a university's science faculties, a post that in Serbia requires a doctorate. First on the list: cardiologist Ilija Srdanović, who took his in 2012. electiontracker.eu/serbia/ilija-srdanovic #Serbia 📊
We did not count the "dr" before a name: in Serbia every medical doctor carries it. Of the list's many physicians, only those whose biography names a doctorate are among the 73. Nor did a conductor's chair at the music faculty count. electiontracker.eu/serbia/student-list-students-win #Serbia 📊
Among them: two members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences, chemist Radomir Saičić and electrical engineer Slobodan Vukosavić, and former central bank governor Dejan Šoškić, who took his doctorate in finance in Belgrade. electiontracker.eu/serbia/radomir-saicic #Serbia 📊
Is it a record? Many say so. We found no count of earlier parliaments to compare with (the Assembly lists its MPs' jobs, not their degrees), so we can't confirm it. One square per MP is on our Serbia page, beside the government's formation, live. electiontracker.eu/serbia #Serbia 📊
