Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić resigns ahead of early elections
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has formally resigned seven months early, triggering snap presidential elections as Ana Brnabić steps in as interim president.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced his resignation on September 27, stepping down seven months prior to the conclusion of his second five-year term. Under Serbia's constitution, Vučić is barred from seeking a third consecutive term as head of state. The decision triggers early presidential elections, which must be held within 90 days.
Former parliamentary speaker Ana Brnabić has assumed office as interim president to manage state affairs during the transition period. Serbia's national legislature was previously dissolved to prepare for snap parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25, leaving the country under caretaker governance.
