Serbia’s National Assembly faces imminent dissolution to enable snap parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25, 2026. President Aleksandar Vučić, whose second term ends in 2027, announced in late June 2026 that he would resign within weeks and trigger early votes following sustained student-led protests that began after the November 2024 Novi Sad railway station collapse killed 16 people. The government is expected to propose dissolution in the coming days, after which the legally required 45-to-60-day campaign period begins. Vučić had floated October 18 or 25 dates in August, and recent reporting from state and pro-government outlets aligns on the later date. The move follows more than 18 months of demonstrations demanding accountability and fresh elections, with the ruling Serbian Progressive Party seeking to consolidate its position before the original 2027 timeline.
