  • Serbian Prime Minister Djuro Macut asked President Aleksandar Vučić to dissolve Parliament, potentially triggering early legislative elections in October.
  • The student-led protest movement has long demanded snap elections after nearly two years of demonstrations.
  • The next parliamentary election had been scheduled for December 2027.

Serbia’s Prime Minister Djuro Macut has asked the president to dissolve Parliament, opening the way for legislative elections as early as October.

Macut made the request on Monday, September 7, during an extraordinary government session. “I propose that the Government of the Republic of Serbia, in accordance with the Constitution, ask the President of the Republic to dissolve the National Assembly,” he said.

The move responds to a long-standing demand from a student-led protest movement that has demonstrated for nearly two years. Serbia’s next parliamentary elections had normally been due in December 2027, making an October vote an early election.

The request must now go to the president, and further details were not provided in the report.

I propose that the Government of the Republic of Serbia, in accordance with the Constitution, ask the President of the Republic to dissolve the National Assembly.
