After a long period of political and social tension, Serbs go to early elections

The article reports that Serbia is moving towards early parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25th, following a period of political and social tensions that began after the November 2024 collapse of a canopy at a railway station in Novi Sad, which resulted in 16 deaths. The incident sparked widespread anti-government protests, with students demanding early elections. The Serbian president, Aleksandar Vučić, had announced the election date in August as either October 18th or 25th. These elections would mark the 15th parliamentary elections since the introduction of multi-party politics in 2012 and the 11th before the end of the regular legislative term. Since the Progressive Party came to power in 2012, Serbia has held early elections in 2014, 2016, 2022, and 2023. The last general elections were on December 17, 2023, where the list led by Vučić’s party secured an absolute majority in the National Assembly.
