The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, will call for early parliamentary elections, responding to the demands of the protesters.

The elections, initially scheduled for 2027, will take place before the end of the government's mandate. Vučić emphasized that the final decision will be made by the competent institutions, signaling the start of a new electoral campaign. The protests were triggered by the tragedy in Novi Sad, where the collapse of a roof at a train station led to the death of 16 people, and the protesters accuse the authorities of negligence and corruption. In recent days, Vučić has adopted a conciliatory tone, asking for public apologies for his previous rhetoric and describing the tragedy as a moment of national unity. Analysts believe that the postponement of the elections reflects Vučić's attempt to reduce social pressure and improve relations with the opposition, in the context of discussions with the European Union.
