President Aleksandar Vucic’s June 2026 announcement of his impending resignation and early elections, followed by his August 20 statement setting snap parliamentary votes for October 18 or 25, has centered trader attention on the timing of National Assembly dissolution. Under Serbian rules, the president dissolves parliament to trigger early elections, a step not yet taken despite the failed August no-confidence motion and sustained student-led protests over the 2024 Novi Sad incident. Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party holds the majority, and dissolution typically precedes the 45- to 60-day campaign window. Key variables include the exact October date, any last-minute procedural delays, and Vucic’s transition plans, potentially toward the premiership.
