Aleksandar Vučić resigns as President of Serbia
Aleksandar Vučić has resigned from his position as President of Serbia. Following his resignation, Ana Brnabić, the President of the Assembly, has assumed the role of acting President.
Vučić announced his decision during an extraordinary public address, stating his intention to compete in the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25. He plans to run as the leader of the coalition ‘Aleksandar Vučić - United Serbia’ with the goal of becoming Prime Minister. In his final remarks as head of state, Vučić highlighted infrastructure projects, such as the Belgrade Waterfront and extensive highway networks, as key achievements while acknowledging that he has made mistakes.
The political landscape remains volatile following a wave of protests in Serbia triggered by a fatal railway station canopy collapse in Novi Sad. Analysts note that while Vučić’s party maintains a lead, the political scene is increasingly unstable. Additionally, reports indicate that Vučić held a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly before announcing his resignation.
