Vučić holds major pre-election rally in Niš
Aleksandar Vučić, leader of the ‘United Serbia’ list, held a large-scale pre-election rally at King Milan Square in Niš. During the event, Vučić emphasized his economic contributions to the region, stating he has brought 11 factories to Niš and noting an increase in the city's workforce and average wages. He also announced a development plan to bring 20 large factories to five districts in southern Serbia.
Milorad Dodik, President of SNSD, attended the rally and expressed absolute support for Vučić, highlighting the close relationship between Serbia and Republika Srpska. Former Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić also participated in the gathering.
Vučić addressed political opposition, claiming that his opponents are not merely students or youth, but powerful global forces seeking to destabilize Serbia. He also pledged to increase pensions by 10 percent in the coming year and promised significant investments in healthcare and infrastructure.
