Serbia prepares for parliamentary elections as Vučić and Vulin launch campaigns
Serbia is preparing for extraordinary parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25. The Republic Electoral Commission has confirmed 18 electoral lists, half of which hold national minority status.
Aleksandar Vučić, leading the ‘Aleksandar Vučić – United Serbia’ coalition, has launched his campaign, expressing confidence in a decisive victory. He stated that if his list wins, he will offer dialogue to political opponents the day after the election. During a campaign rally in Bačka Palanka, Vučić addressed local infrastructure needs and emphasized his commitment to the people.
In a separate political development, Aleksandar Vulin, leader of the Movement of Socialists, has announced his candidacy for the upcoming extraordinary presidential elections. Vulin has also called for a referendum on Serbia's membership in the European Union and expressed opposition to sanctions against Russia.
Opposition groups, including the Studentska lista (Students List), are also active. The Studentska lista held a gathering in Zaječar to encourage voter turnout, with speakers calling for social change and political engagement.
