Vucic Resigns Ahead of October Vote, Resetting Serbia’s Political Race

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned ahead of October parliamentary elections, a move that immediately reshapes the country’s political calendar and raises the stakes for a contest already defined by polarization, institutional strain and scrutiny over democratic standards. The resignation is likely to intensify debate over the balance of power in Belgrade and the direction of Serbia’s relations with the European Union and other major powers.
