Aleksandar Vučić Quits as President of Serbia
After months of massive anti-corruption protests, Serbia's long-time leader is suddenly packing his bags.
Aleksandar Vučić announced at a rally in Belgrade that he will step down within weeks to trigger snap elections. The sudden move follows months of heavy street pressure sparked by a train station canopy collapse in Novi Sad that killed 16 people.
His current term was supposed to run until 2027, but nationwide outrage over corruption finally caught up with him. He was quick to clarify that he intends to help his party win the upcoming election anyway, without offering a clear timeline for when he actually leaves office.
A textbook play of stepping down just to reset the clock and run again.
