Serbia’s government has proposed dissolving parliament and bringing the country to an early election in late October, responding to a demand that the student-led protest movement has pressed for a long time.

Prime Minister Đuro Macut made the proposal during an extraordinary government session. He said the government would ask President Aleksandar Vučić, under the constitution, to dissolve the National Assembly and call parliamentary elections.

The vote would come far earlier than the regular parliamentary election, which had been scheduled for December 2027. Vučić said elections would be held in October after almost two years of anti-government protests.

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 and call parliamentary elections.
