Last year, the ARRL reported on its website (and we reported
on the League's report here) that then newly-elected Serbian Prime Minister
Ivica Dacic was a licensed amateur, holding the call sign YU1YU. The League now
says that's only partially correct. It seems that the Prime Minister did pass
his license exam and was a member of a radio club, but had never applied for a
personal call sign. Apparently, receiving a call sign in Serbia is not
automatic after passing an amateur license exam, but must be requested. YU1YU
was suggested to Dacic as a possible call, says the ARRL, but he never followed
up.
