Timeline

  1. Aleksandar Vučić podnio je ostavku na funkciju predsjednika Srbije i predao dužnost Ani Brnabić, dosadašnjoj predsjednici Narodne skupštine, koja je time postala vršiteljica dužnosti predsjednika Republike. Vučić je naveo da ostavku podnosi kako bi bez funkcije učestvovao u predizbornoj kampanji uoči vanrednih parlamentarnih izbora zakazanih za 25. oktobar 2026, na kojima je kandidat SNS-a za premijera, dok je najavio da će prvi krug predsjedničkih izbora morati biti održan do kraja decembra.

They also note that, under the Law on the President, she is authorised to represent Serbia, receive credentials, call parliamentary elections and propose a presidential candidate, for at most 90 days.
