Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced on Saturday that he will resign in the coming weeks and called for early presidential and parliamentary elections.
“I will be president for only a few weeks, and then I will resign,” Vučić told supporters at a rally in Belgrade. His second and final term was due to expire in mid-2027.
The announcement comes after a year and a half of student-led protests, sparked by the collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad in northern Serbia, which killed 16 people.
