Serbian President Vucic Resigns, Ending His Second Term

Serbia's populist president Aleksandar Vucic announced his resignation on Sunday, ending his second and final five-year term as head of state.

The announcement opens the way for an early presidential election in Serbia, the details of which have yet to be specified by the country's authorities.

Vucic had been re-elected to a second term that was initially meant to continue, but his decision to resign accelerates Serbia's political timetable.

Aleksandar Vucic's party is expected to play a central role in the political developments to come, as the country prepares for a new election.
