Serbian President warns of government resignation and then his own. Serbian media reports that parliamentary elections could pave the way for Vučić's return to executive power.
Serbia could enter a new political phase this week. On Monday, the parliament is expected to hold a session to consider a no-confidence motion against the government of Prime Minister Gjuro Macu, a process that could pave the way for early parliamentary elections.
On the eve of the session, President Aleksandar Vučić announced that the government will resign, or the Assembly will determine that it has lost its majority, creating the legal conditions for calling elections.
Vučić also revealed his political plan. He said that after the parliamentary elections are announced, he will remain in office as president for a few more days to complete state commitments, and then he will resign and join the electoral campaign to seek the support of citizens for the post of prime minister.
" I will leave the presidency, get in my car and travel throughout Serbia to seek the citizens' vote for the prime minister's mandate ," Vučić declared.
The Serbian president stressed that, although the Constitution would allow him to be elected prime minister by a parliamentary majority without an election, he does not want to take on this task without a direct mandate from the citizens.
The move comes at a time when there has been talk for months that Vučić is preparing a transition from the post of president to the head of government. The current term is his second and final as president, as the Serbian Constitution does not allow him to run for a third consecutive term.
If the Assembly approves the no-confidence motion, a 30-day deadline will begin for the formation of a new government. If this does not happen, the parliament will be dissolved and the country will automatically go to elections. If the motion is rejected, the government will continue its mandate, but according to legal procedures it will be able to ask the president to dissolve the Assembly and call early elections.
Monday's session is expected to be one of the most important political moments in Serbia this year, as it could mark the start of a reconfiguration of power with Aleksandar Vučić aiming to remain the central figure of Serbian politics, this time in the post of prime minister. / Pamphlet
