Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić resigns ahead of early elections
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has resigned seven months early, triggering snap presidential elections alongside the October 25 parliamentary vote.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić officially submitted his resignation on Sunday, September 27, concluding his second five-year term seven months ahead of schedule. The decision triggers snap presidential elections, which under constitutional rules must take place within 90 days.
Under Serbia's constitution, Vučić is barred from serving a third consecutive term and cannot stand for reelection. Outgoing parliamentary speaker Ana Brnabić has stepped in as acting president while the government functions in a caretaker capacity. The presidential ballot is expected to coincide with the country's snap parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25 following the prior dissolution of parliament.
