Serbia prepares to hold early legislative elections, in a ballot that represents a political test for President Aleksandar Vucic. The Serbian government asked the president to dissolve Parliament to allow the holding of these early elections.
Aleksandar Vucic himself was nominated as a candidate for the elections by his party, the Serbian Progressive Party, on Saturday, September 5th. This nomination places Vucic at the center of the electoral campaign, combining his position as president of the country with the leadership of the party's list in Parliament.
The early elections arise in a context of political tension in Serbia, with the government deciding to bring forward the ballot that was originally scheduled for a later date. This move places Vucic in a double spotlight position, both as president and as an active political candidate.
