Serbian government proposes dissolving parliament for snap elections
Serbia's government proposed dissolving parliament, setting up early parliamentary elections expected in late October 2026. President Aleksandar Vucic, who has served nearly two terms as president, may seek to switch to the role of prime minister. The snap vote follows over a year of mass protests triggered by a November 2024 train station canopy collapse that killed 16 people.
