In a major political bombshell that is set to reshape the political landscape of the Western Balkans, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced today, June 10, 2026, that he plans to resign from his office in the near future.
Appearing on the program “U sredu sa Bojanom Bilbijom” on the First Channel of Radio Belgrade, Vučić was asked directly whether he planned to step down within the next three to four months. Vučić responded sharply: “Maybe even sooner.”
Packing the Presidency and Eyeing the Premiership
The Serbian leader indicated that his departure from the presidential office is already physically underway, signaling a definitive end to his current mandate.
“I have already started packing my books at the Presidency. I have a lot of books and I am currently looking at where to store them,” Vučić revealed during the broadcast.
However, this resignation does not signify a total retirement from Serbian political life. On the contrary, Vučić dropped heavy hints about a major political reshuffle and a potential shift in his institutional role:
- The Prime Minister Candidacy: Vučić explicitly stated that he thinks about running for the position of Prime Minister every single day.
- High-Stakes Consultations: He added that he has an extremely important political meeting scheduled for tonight to discuss these upcoming steps.
Snap General Elections on the Horizon
Coupled with his resignation announcement, the Serbian President confirmed that the country is heading toward yet another round of snap elections before the end of the year.
- Timeline for the Vote: Vučić stated that the general elections will be held in just a few months, noting that whether they take place in exactly three or four months remains a purely “technical question.”
- Summer Timing Excluded: He clarified that the actual voting will not take place in July or August, though he left open the distinct possibility that the elections could be officially called and scheduled during those summer months.
