Serbian President hints at possibility of resignation.

On May 25, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic unexpectedly announced that he might soon resign, as the Balkan nation continues to face months of anti-government protests.

Speaking to reporters during his visit to Beijing, Vucic said his presidential term was drawing to a close and did not rule out the possibility of leaving office sooner than expected. The Serbian leader said, "I may resign soon," but did not specify a timeframe or the direct reasons for this possibility.

However, Vucic stressed that he would not repeat the move of former Serbian President Boris Tadic, who resigned in 2012 about 10 months before the end of his term in order to hold presidential and parliamentary elections at the same time to consolidate the position of the then-ruling party.

Vucic's statement is considered a noteworthy move in the context of a volatile regional political landscape, where national leaders are constantly facing pressure from public opinion and internal challenges.

Regarding the protests in Serbia, President Vucic stated that the march in Slavija Square on May 24th lacked a "clear objective" and assessed the scale of the protest as not as some reports suggested. According to Serbian security agencies, the number of participants was estimated to be between 30,500 and 34,300. The Serbian government subsequently used the highest estimate in its official reports.

Vucic also accused the organizers of the protest of being responsible for the disorderly incidents that occurred after the rally ended. Meanwhile, the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), led by Vucic, announced it would hold a separate rally from June 26 to 28.

The opposition and numerous civil society organizations accused the Serbian government of corruption and mismanagement. By August 2025, the protests had escalated into clashes with security forces, resulting in several police officers being injured and dozens arrested.
