It consists mostly of the same ministers from the previous cabinet, with three new members introduced: Branko Ružić (SPS) taking the Brnabić's previous ministry, Goran Trivan (SPS) taking the new post of Minister of Environmental Protection, and Nenad Popović (SNP) a minister without portfolio in charge of innovations. Aleksandar Vulin, formerly the Minister of Labour, and Zoran Đorđević, formerly the Minister of Defence, swapped places. Jadranka Joksimović, formerly a minister without portfolio, assumed the new Ministry of European Integration. The cabinet was approved by 157 votes for and 57 against, out of 250 members of the National Assembly.[3]

On 7 May 2018, Minister of Finance Dušan Vujović resigned from the position for personal reasons.[4] On 28 May 2018, Siniša Mali, at the time Mayor of Belgrade, was appointed as the new Minister of Finance.[5]
