Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said he plans to resign from the presidency within three to four months and announced that the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) will hold a large rally in Belgrade on June 27 to present part of its election platform, N1 writes.
Speaking on TV Prva, Vučić reiterated that he would step down from the presidency, but said he could not yet say whether Serbia would hold only early presidential elections or presidential and parliamentary elections. He added that the decision would be made by the relevant state institutions.
Vučić also announced that the SNS will organize a rally in front of the National Assembly building in Belgrade on June 27, where it will reveal the name of its electoral list, campaign slogans and part of its program ahead of the upcoming elections.
Earlier this month, Vučić said that parliamentary elections would be held “right after the summer.” Following his announcement that he intends to step down as president, he is widely expected to head the SNS electoral list as a candidate for prime minister.
The tragedy at the Novi Sad Railway Station, which occurred on November 1, 2024, claimed 16 lives. The collapse of the concrete shelter also left many injured, sparking widespread public outrage and waves of protests across Serbia demanding criminal and political accountability.
