Serbia’s President Vucic Resigns As Ruling Party Faces Youth-backed Opposition by adenigga(op): 4:34am On Sep 28
Serbia’s President Vucic resigns as ruling party faces youth-backed opposition
Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic announced his resignation on ​Sunday, seven months before his tenure was originally scheduled to expire.


56-year-old Vucic ended his second and final five-year term amid campaigning for the October ​25 snap parliamentary vote to elect 250 members of​ the National Assembly.

His departure sets the stage for early presidential elections and allows him to ​be appointed Prime Minister if the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) retains majority control of government.

“I have faithfully served you ​and my fatherland, Serbia. I am proud of what we ​have done together,” he told supporters at the Presidency building in Belgrade.

The populist politician, who previously served as Minister of Defence, said the first round of presidential elections will be held by the end ​of December.

Serbia’s constitution stipulates that the presidential election must be completed within 90 days, with the campaign lasting between 30 and 60 ​days.

Outgoing parliament Speaker Ana ‌Brnabic ⁠will serve as acting President until her successor is elected. She was the Prime Minister from 2017 until 2024.

Factor Plus polling places public support for Vucic’s United Serbia, led by the SNS, at 49%. The youth-backed opposition challenger, known as the Student List, has about 37% popularity.

The movement stemmed from the “Students in Blockade” group after the collapse of the Novi Sad railway station canopy in November 2024, which sparked anti-corruption protests.

The group, which comprises academics, public figures, and professionals, gathered nearly 70,000 signatures and was proclaimed as number 3 on the ballot by the Electoral Commission.

The power of the youth

This generation of men ruling us are not upto 10% of the nations population

If we dont allow ourselves to keep falling for their divisive tactics, we should be the ones leading this country and retire these men that dont have much life in them.

Only in nigeria, a man over 40 years old is made youth leader

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić has resigned.

Cornered by months of massive protests, Vučić is stepping down as president—not to leave politics, but to switch to the prime minister's office. By trading titles, he is looking for a way to dodge public pressure while holding onto his absolute control over the government.

Same dictator, new title.

Vučić:

“Dear citizens of Serbia, I tried to write something meaningful, to explain my decision to resign. I call it by its constitutional name, not the way some others did with false shortening of mandates and everything else. So, I wrote a book too. Maybe I'll read two or three pages, and the rest I will speak from the heart and mind.
The hour of decision has come. History teaches us that progress is never achieved by accident, but through difficult choices, responsibility before one's own conscience, and the determination to move forward. Winston Churchill said that when he was in a similar situation to mine tonight. After years at the helm of the state, you realize that progress rarely comes as quickly as you would like. You also understand that leadership means making difficult decisions and taking responsibility for every decision. In that same spirit, Chinese President Xi Jinping says: "Never forget why you started, and you will fulfill your mission."

Omo!..Nigeria needs to return back to Parliamentary system of Govt.

Take UK for instance, they change prime Ministers based on the challenges they have and the best individual to handle such challenge base on track records.

No President is inherently bad(except Tinubu), in Parliamentary system Nigerian Prime minsters can be elected based on issues at hand we need to taken care of

Food security and Infrastructure: we pick Obasanjo for 2 years only.

Security and Institutional Development: Yaradua will fix that in 3 years.

Health Care and Youth Development: Jonathan they can handle that in 2 years only.

Unemployment and Transportation: Buhari can fix that 1 year.

Revenue mobilization and Tax Reforms: Tinubu can handle that in 2 years.

And we move on and continue to make progress in just 10 years instead of wasting 27years and still running circles, no progress.

The opposition party who will eventually win want to take Serbia into EU and NATO, forgetting what NATO did to them in 1999. How NATO destroy their country and killed their people. They think that it is going to affect Putin's calculation, but guess what? Russia doesn't care.

Russia saved Serbia in 1999 when the entire west and NATO wanted to destroy them, Russia will not save them again this time (you can take a horse to a stream, but you can't forced it to drink water).
If Serbia doesn't learned from their history, there is nothing Russia can do to save them.

There are 5 slavic countries that Russia care about, they are:
1. Ukraine
2. Belarus
3. Georgia
4. Serbia
5. Moldova.

If any of these 5 countries government want to follow EU and NATO, Russia will not stop them, but instead Russia will sent in troops and cut out the Russian speaking region and integrate it into mother Russia.

Wish this can be emulated around the world. Leadership is not by force. As John C Maxwell put it, if you're leading and no one is following, you're merely taking a stroll

If there's any lessons to learn here, tge youths of any country are more powerful than they know it. Selah!

We don’t blame them.
We only demand accountability.
They swore oats before entering office
Politicians are public office holders and therefore we demand accountability.
Your ideology is timid kinda
