Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned and is now pursuing the position of prime minister, reports Le Monde.
His resignation clears the way for early legislative elections, scheduled for the end of October. Holding this early election was a crucial demand of the student movement that emerged in November 2024, which has maintained steady pressure on the Serbian government since its inception.
Le Monde does not specify the exact circumstances of the resignation announcement or the institutional timeline that will govern the transition before the elections take place. It is also unclear from available information whether Vucic has already formally announced his candidacy for prime minister or what legal framework would govern this shift.
The student movement behind the mobilization that preceded this announcement was formed following events that occurred in November 2024, and has since expanded its reach within Serbian society, sustaining prolonged opposition to the current government.
Reactions from Serbian opposition parties to the resignation announcement and election timeline were not detailed in the available report.
