PoliticsAleksandar Vučić resigns as Serbia’s president eight months early to run for prime minister
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has resigned eight months before his second term was due to end. He says he is stepping down to contest snap parliamentary elections on October 25; some believe he is seeking to remain in power as prime minister because he cannot run for president again. Parliament speaker Ana Brnabić is acting president, and a new presidential election must be held within three months.
