World3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported26m ago
Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's longtime populist president and one of Europe's longest-serving leaders, has resigned from his post. First elected in 2017 and subsequently re-elected in May 2022, Vucic stepped down on Sunday.
The resignation paves the way for Vucic to run for prime minister in snap elections scheduled for next month in October. His decision follows nearly two years of student-led protests in the country that had been actively pressing for such an electoral poll.
