On September 27, Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic announced his resignation seven months early ahead of the October 25 parliamentary elections. His move allows him to run for prime minister if his ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) wins the election. Under Serbia’s constitution, Parliamentary Speaker Ana Brnabic, an ally of Vucic, will serve as interim president until a new one is elected by December 2024. The resignation comes amid nearly two years of protests triggered by the collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad that killed 16 people in November 2024, which has strengthened a youth-led opposition movement aiming to oust Vucic’s government after 14 years in power.
