Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced he will resign within weeks, prompting the country to hold early presidential and parliamentary elections. His decision follows ongoing anti‑corruption protests sparked by a collapsed awning at a Novi Sad railway station, which critics say reflects broader government mismanagement.

    1. For the thousand and first time, we are offering you our hand. We forgive everything you have done, but we are not naive, and we will not forget what has been done to the country in the last year.
    2. I would like to be less engaged in politics or not at all, but taking care of my legacy might require some sort of engagement; we'll see.
    3. My proposal is for our list, the winning list in the upcoming elections, to be named 'United Serbia'.
    4. We will win more convincingly than ever before.
    5. I will be president for several weeks more and then I will submit my resignation.

    1. By resigning and with early presidential and parliamentary elections, Vucic is trying to preempt his inevitable fall, because of protests and because of the student movement, which has more support than he does.

    1. He already has a plan, one that definitely does not mean he's going to go into political retirement — quite the opposite.
    2. This is not at all the end of Vucic.
  4. RS
    Marko Djokic
    1. I cannot imagine that he will step down and leave power to someone else.
