Serbia’s ruling populists propose President Vucic switch to prime minister after election

Serbia’s governing party formally proposed on Saturday that President Aleksandar Vucic transition to the role of prime minister should the party emerge victorious in the upcoming early parliamentary election. The announcement was made in Belgrade as the country prepares for a vote that is widely viewed as a critical political challenge for the ruling populist administration.

The proposed leadership shift follows a period of political turbulence for the governing party, which has faced significant scrutiny over the past year. The upcoming election is considered a major test of the party's continued influence and public support within Serbia.
