Parliamentary elections will be held in Serbia before the expiration of the current mandate of the parliamentarians in December 2027, Serbian President Vučić announced in a speech at the National Stadium in Belgrade, quoted by Srbija Danas.
„The competent authorities in our country will decide, in accordance with the Constitution and the law, when the elections will be held. Although those participating in the blockades represent a significant minority in our country, we will comply with their demands and the elections will be held early. When? The competent authority will decide. "And the people will show at the polls what policies they support," the head of state said.
According to media reports, elections could be held before the end of the year.
Mass student and opposition protests continue in Serbia, a year after the collapse of the Novi Sad railway station canopy, which killed 15 people. Participants are demanding the publication of full documentation on the station's reconstruction, the prosecution of officials involved in the tragedy, and the release from criminal prosecution of all those detained during the protests. Protesters often block roads and clash with police.
