Shaip Kamberi, the Albanian MP in the Serbian Parliament, has stated that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is surviving in power on what he described as “artificial life support.”
According to Kamberi, 2026 will be an election year in Serbia and could mark the end of Vučić’s rule.
“While facing a deep internal crisis, Vučić is now also confronting an external one. Most likely, 2026 will be an election year in Serbia. Elections which he himself has described as a crossroads, but which, in my assessment, Vučić is very likely to lose. Even if he manages to win them through the usual manipulations he has employed so far, the situation would become even more difficult for him. In that case, no one—neither the opposition, nor the student movement, nor other segments of society—would recognize those elections. This would push Serbia into an even deeper crisis. We cannot speak of stability in 2026, and this clearly indicates that Serbia will neither have the time nor the capacity to seriously engage in the process of European integration,” Kamberi said.
According to him, Vučić has plunged Serbia into a profound political crisis—the most severe since 2003, when then-Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić was assassinated.
