Vucic's Bid for Renewed Authority: A Recipe for Further Polarization The proposed dissolution of parliament and call for early elections in Serbia are being touted as a way to mitigate tensions, but it's hard not to see this move by President Aleksandar Vucic as an attempt to tighten his grip on power.
For nearly two years, anti government protests have simmered in the background, fueled by widespread discontent with corruption, violence against political opponents, and stifling of media freedoms.
The student led protest movement has long demanded early elections, which would allow them to bring pressure on Vucic's regime to address these issues.
