Serbia Centre (SRCE) has described the upcoming parliamentary session on a no-confidence vote against the government as a political maneuver designed to allow President Aleksandar Vučić to determine the timing of future elections on terms favorable to the ruling authorities.
In a statement issued on Friday, the opposition party argued that the government led by Prime Minister Đuro Macut was established primarily to “buy time” and claimed its tenure would be remembered for actions that, in its view, are incompatible with the standards expected of a country seeking membership in the European Union.
SRCE accused the government of attempting to facilitate the sale of state assets and undermine national interests through the Generalštab redevelopment project, alleging that the initiative served President Vučić’s private political interests.
The party also criticized Prime Minister Macut for failing to respond to recent remarks made by Minister Snežana Paunović, describing her statements as unacceptable and arguing that the prime minister’s silence reflected a lack of political accountability.
Earlier on Friday, National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabić announced that an extraordinary parliamentary session would be held on Monday, July 27, to debate a motion of no confidence in the government.
According to the parliament’s announcement, the session was convened at the request of 109 members of parliament and is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m.
The original no-confidence motion was submitted in February by 62 opposition lawmakers, but the debate has only now been scheduled.
The no-confidence session comes amid heightened political tensions in Serbia, with opposition parties accusing the government of delaying parliamentary procedures while the ruling coalition maintains that institutional processes are being conducted in accordance with the law.
