Serbian President Vucic resigns to seek PM post; early elections set for late October

President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned, intending to run for Prime Minister, a move that triggers early parliamentary elections at the end of October. The elections were a key demand of the student protest movement that began in November 2024. This reshuffles Serbia's executive power structure but keeps Vucic's dominant party in play, with uncertainty over whether the opposition can capitalize on the protests.
