Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has announced his resignation and his intention to seek the post of prime minister, according to Le Monde.
Early parliamentary elections will be held at the end of October, a deadline that meets a key demand raised by a student movement born in November 2024.
This protest movement, active for nearly two years, had put pressure on the ruling power to secure early elections.
Mr. Vucic's decision to turn toward the post of prime minister rather than remain in the presidency marks a notable shift in the Serbian leader's political strategy.
Details on the precise timeline for the transition and the procedures for the early election were not specified in the report.
