Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic says will resign within ‘weeks’ | Elections News

Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s President, announced his intention to resign within “weeks,” paving the way for early presidential and parliamentary elections. This follows months of student-led protests that have shaken his term as president and led to calls for his resignation. Vucic stated he would help his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party at the upcoming elections and that this was probably his last address to supporters as Serbia’s president. The news comes against the backdrop of mass antigovernment demonstrations in response to the Novi Sad rail station disaster and accusations of police brutality.
