Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced the dissolution of parliament and called early legislative elections for October 25. The decision comes in response to the pressure exerted by popular protests that erupted in the country after the tragedy at Novi Sad railway station.
Vucic also revealed that he intends to resign as President of Serbia to run for the position of prime minister. This strategic change in his political position marks a significant alteration in the country's power structure.
The president justified his decision with the strong tensions and divisions that Serbia is experiencing at this moment. The protests following the Novi Sad tragedy intensified public scrutiny of the government and its policies.
The dissolution of parliament and the calling of early elections represent an attempt to calm the spirits of the Serbian population, which has expressed its dissatisfaction with the government management through massive demonstrations in the streets of the country.
