Serbian President Vucic resigns to consolidate power; German paper draws Putin parallel

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned, reportedly to seek a return to power in a new role, a move a German newspaper compares to Putin's political maneuvering. The resignation is part of an ongoing pattern of consolidating control, though the specific constitutional or electoral path back to power remains unclear. This matters as it signals a potential shift in Serbia's domestic power structure and could affect regional stability in the Western Balkans.
