Aleksandar Vucic said the country was at a turning point and called for a vote in December.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has set early parliamentary elections in the country for December 17. Politico reported this on October 13.
Vucic, whose Serbian Progressive Party is the dominant force in parliament, has faced pressure from the opposition after two deadly shootings in the spring sparked public outrage and sparked widespread protests in the country.
“We heard all their demands… They asked for… parliamentary elections, and they accepted them,” the president stressed, commenting on a letter from the opposition sent on September 11 asking for early voting .
He also added that regional elections will be held in Vojvodina, an autonomous province in northern Serbia.
“Serbia is at a turning point – we need a break so that citizens can say what kind of politics they want,” the country’s leader said.
Let’s remember that in May there were two mass shootings in Serbia, which resulted in the death of 17 people, including eight children.
Since then, authorities have cracked down on gun ownership.
