Aleksandar Vučić conducts pre-election activities in Serbia

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is engaged in what is described as a functional pre-election campaign as he prepares for upcoming polls, potentially in October. His strategy involves balancing relations between the European Union, Russia, the United States, and China. While he has recently moved closer to Ukraine through military industry cooperation agreements with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, observers note this is a pragmatic approach rather than a total geopolitical shift.

Vučić’s recent visits to cities like Užice have been marked by tension. Reports indicate that his appearances in less favorable regions require heavy security presence, including large police contingents and supporters to manage opposition. These visits have occasionally resulted in confrontations between citizens and the President's supporters, highlighting deep political divisions within the country.
