President Aleksandar Vučić’s August 21 announcement that snap parliamentary elections will occur on either October 18 or 25 has become the dominant driver of trader positioning on parliament dissolution timing. Under Serbia’s constitution, the president must dissolve the National Assembly to schedule early votes, typically 45–60 days in advance. This follows Vučić’s June pledge to resign and trigger early presidential and parliamentary contests amid prolonged anti-government protests that contributed to the prior prime minister’s departure. The exact dissolution date remains pending a final announcement expected within days, while the current legislature continues routine sessions. Any shift in the election timeline or last-minute procedural delays could still influence resolution odds before year-end.
