Vucic voting (Beta/Branislav Bozic)
A source from the helm of the Serbian Progressive Party told BETA on Sept. 28 that general elections would be held on Dec. 17.
Commenting on the resignations of several mayors and municipal chiefs in Serbia’s interior, the party official said that all municipal heads and mayors would resign in the forthcoming days, so that local elections could be held simultaneously with the parliamentary, Belgrade and provincial ones.
“The party helm has ordered all municipal heads and mayors to resign. Elections at all levels, except presidential, will be held most probably on Dec. 17,” the source said. The mayors of Smederevo and Leskovac and the municipal head of Kucevo resigned on Sept. 28.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated on Sept. 27 that elections could be held already on Dec. 17, but did not say at which level. Earlier, the opposition sought that parliamentary and Belgrade elections be held by the end of this year.
