> 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.
