Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić resigned on Sunday to pursue a bid to become prime minister in upcoming snap parliamentary elections that will test his rule in the Balkan country, which was rattled by nearly two years of protests.
Vučić’s second presidential term would otherwise end in May next year. He is banned by the Serbian Constitution from seeking a third term and said he was resigning to lead his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party in the 25 October vote.
