Vucic: Elections in Serbia in next 3-4 months, decision about my candidacy to be in line with Constitution

President Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday that elections in Serbia will be held in the next three to four months and noted that his decision on whether to run for prime minister will be transparent and in accordance with the Constitution and the law, whole citizens can expect to learn what the decision is "from the end of July".

Vucic was at the Palace of Serbia, where he presented a package of new measures to improve the standard of living of citizens, when he gave this answer to a journalist who asked if the fact that he announced at the "Serbia One Family" rally on Saturday that he will be the president of the republic "for a few more weeks" means that early parliamentary elections will soon be called in Serbia, and whether it is realistic to expect that in the event of an absolute victory of the SNS, he will take over as prime minister.

"We will hold elections soon. When I say soon, in the next three, four months, that's it. I don't know what else I can tell you. And as for whether or not I will run for prime minister, I certainly will, whatever I do and whatever decision I make, it will be transparent, as I did with the announcement of my resignation. It won't be a surprise for anyone when it happens, whether it's in August or on September 1, it's completely all the same to people, now they can expect it - or at the end of July, they can expect (it)," said Vucic.

He added that this will depend on political parties, but also "on his energy and everything else".

"So we're going to talk about that. But I'm not saying that I (will) cut my term short or anything like that, I stick to the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia and the constitutional categories, I do everything transparently in line with the Constitution and the law, and it will be like that going forward," said Vucic.
