Aleksandar Vucic

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vučić, under pressure after months of anti-government protests, said on Saturday he would resign within weeks and the country would hold early presidential and parliamentary elections.

The announcement by Vučić, in power for 13 years, came after a year and a half of sometimes violent anti-corruption protests led by students, sparked by the collapse of a tent at a railway station in the northern city of Novi Sad in November 2024, in which 16 people died.

Days earlier, in the city of Novi Sad, students commemorated the victims of the disaster and called for early general elections.

Another student rally is planned for Sunday in the city of Kraljevo, in southeastern Serbia.

"I will be president for only a few weeks and then I will resign," Vucic told his supporters at a pro-government rally in the capital Belgrade. Vucic's second and final term would end in mid-2027.

Vučić said he would help his Serbian Progressive Party win the presidential election and early parliamentary elections, which were initially scheduled for 2027. He did not specify when he would resign or when he would dissolve parliament, a prerequisite for early parliamentary elections.

Savo Manojlovic, leader of the opposition student Movement for Change, said: "By resigning and holding early presidential and parliamentary elections, Vucic is trying to prevent his inevitable downfall, due to the protests and due to the student movement which has more support than he does."

Protesters, the opposition and rights groups claim the railway station disaster was a sign of broader government mismanagement of construction projects. They also accuse Vucic and his allies of violence against political opponents, widespread corruption, links to organised crime and a crackdown on media freedoms.

Vucic and his allies deny these accusations.

Activists from the student-led movement and opposition parties have said they want to challenge Vučić in the election.
