President Aleksandar Vučić’s June 2026 announcement that he would resign within weeks, combined with ongoing student-led anti-corruption protests since late 2024, has kept pressure on the ruling coalition for snap parliamentary elections. Vučić has repeatedly signaled an autumn vote, narrowing possible windows to late September through mid-November or by late December 2026, while holding consultations with coalition partners; most opposition groups declined participation. Under the constitution, the president may dissolve the National Assembly on a government proposal, triggering early elections well before the regular deadline of December 2027. Traders are monitoring the timing of any formal dissolution proposal, Vučić’s transition to prime minister, and whether protests or coalition dynamics accelerate or delay the move.
