Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stepped down as the country's head of state on Sunday, paving the way for him to run for prime minister as his right-wing populist Serbian Progressive Party's candidate.
The move comes ahead of the October parliamentary elections, in which Vucic is expected to seek the premiership rather than continue as president.
Vucic's departure from the presidency marks a significant political transition, as he shifts from head of state to a party candidate for the country's top government post.
Serbia is now expected to move forward with preparations for both the parliamentary vote and a subsequent presidential election.
