Vucic Confirms Serbia Will Hold Snap Elections Oct. 25
(MENAFN) Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced Tuesday that the country will head to the polls for early parliamentary elections on October 25, ending weeks of speculation about the political future of the Balkan nation.
Speaking to a state broadcaster, Vucic revealed that he intends to formally dissolve parliament and issue the call for snap elections on Wednesday, setting in motion a compressed campaign season ahead of the autumn vote.
"Elections will be held in Serbia on October 25," Vucic said, offering the clearest confirmation yet of the timeline after months of uncertainty surrounding the country's political trajectory amid ongoing domestic tensions.
The announcement comes after the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) had already moved to secure Vucic's central role in the vote. The party earlier decided that Vucic would head the United Serbia alliance's electoral list in the upcoming parliamentary elections, and it formally nominated him to serve as prime minister, cementing his position at the forefront of the governing coalition's campaign.
The snap elections are expected to draw intense scrutiny both domestically and internationally, as Serbia navigates a politically charged period marked by public protests and questions over the ruling party's continued grip on power heading into the fall vote.
