Serbians are heading to the polls on Sunday to determine whether or not to elect Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia until his resignation on September 27, as prime minister. Vučić stepped down from the presidential position to be able to run for prime minister.
Vučić has long been the dominant figure of Serbian politics, having served as president between 2017 and 2026 and prime minister between 2014 and 2017. However, his victory on Sunday is by no means guaranteed, as he faces a strong electoral challenge from candidates belonging to a youth opposition movement which was formed in 2024 in opposition to the rule of Vučić and his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
