Serbian President Announces Resignation on September 27

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has announced that he will resign from the presidency on September 27, 2026. According to media reports, he made the announcement during a television program on September 15.  President Aleksandar Vučić has decided to leave the presidency and run for the position of Prime Minister. Serbia is set to hold early parliamentary elections on October 25, 2026.  Vučić’s party, the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), has nominated him as its candidate for Prime Minister.  Aleksandar Vučić is constitutionally barred from seeking another presidential term because he has already been elected president twice. Therefore, stepping down from the presidency and seeking the position of Prime Minister represents an important path for him to remain in power.
