Serbia currently does not have any of its key state institutions functioning at full capacity, opposition Srbija Centar (SRCE) leader Zdravko Ponoš said on Monday.
“Serbia currently does not have a single key institution functioning at full capacity. Neither the prime minister, nor the president, nor the parliament,” Ponoš wrote on social media platform X.
He said the prime minister is serving in a caretaker capacity, while the country has an acting president. He also pointed to the dissolution of parliament and the institutional circumstances surrounding the acting presidency.
“What could possibly go wrong in such a situation?” Ponoš asked.
Ponoš also criticized former President Aleksandar Vučić and representatives of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), accusing them of frequently speaking about political stability while calling attention to the number of early parliamentary elections held during their time in power.
“Vučić and SNS representatives are constantly talking about stability, yet since they came to power, Serbia has held regular parliamentary elections only once,” Ponoš said.
He listed early parliamentary elections held in 2014, 2016, 2022, 2023 and 2026, while identifying the 2020 parliamentary elections as the only regular elections during that period.
