Boris Bratina (Serbian Cyrillic: Борис Братина; born 25 August 1960) is a Serbian university professor and philosopher serving as the minister of information and telecommunications since 16 April 2025. An associate professor at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Priština in North Mitrovica, he specializes in contemporary philosophy and ontology.[1] A former member of the ultranationalist SNP Naši 1389, he is a founding member of the People's Movement for the State (PZND) of Serbia's president Aleksandar Vučić.[2]
Controversies
On 24 March 2009, during a rally in Belgrade marking the 10th anniversary of NATO bombing of Serbia, Bratina, alongside Miša Vacić, publicly burned the European Union flag. Bratina has been criticized for homophobic statements, notably in 2010, when he called the Belgrade Pride a "procession of the sick" and urged its ban. He described homosexuality as "exhibitionism" and suggested shaming participants publicly.[3]
