Miloš Vučević, president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), announced that a "large public rally" will be held in Novi Sad in two weeks. Vučević, who also shared photos from a recent SNS rally in Beočin, stated on social media that the Novi Sad event will send a "strong message that Vojvodina is Serbia" and that the party will not allow division.
"We will see each other in two weeks on the other side of the Danube, at a large public rally in our Srpska Atina, to jointly send a strong message that Vojvodina is Serbia, that we will not allow them to divide us. Only united, led by Aleksandar Vučić, can we move forward, to new victories. Everyone to the polls. United Serbia wins," Vučević wrote.

He emphasized the short time remaining until "essential and fateful elections for Serbia." Vučević framed the upcoming vote as a choice between a "normal, decent, and united Serbia" and a "Serbia of hatred and divisions." He asserted that the SNS list would stand against "all others," adding that the party has always been victorious when Serbia was "strong, powerful, and united."
President Aleksandar Vučić had previously announced that "large public rallies" would take place in Užice at the end of August and in Novi Sad in early September. Novi Sad has been a focal point for political opponents who accuse Vučić of avoiding the city since a canopy collapse at the reconstructed railway station on November 1, 2024, which resulted in 16 fatalities.
And it is becoming increasingly clear that the people will choose whether they want a normal, decent, and united Serbia, or a Serbia of hatred and divisions between young and old, rich and poor. On one side will be our list, and on the other all the others. We have always won when we had a strong, powerful, and united Serbia.
