Macut proposed that the Government send a request to the President of the State to dissolve the Assembly

Prime Minister Đuro Macut today proposed that the Government of Serbia send a proposal to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to dissolve the Assembly so that elections could be scheduled for October 25.

“For some time now, we have been hearing public demands for the calling of early parliamentary elections. A responsible government never ignores such demands,” Macut said at the extraordinary session of the Government.

According to him, new parliamentary elections are an opportunity to establish the legitimacy of institutions, lower tensions, reject the politics of exclusion, and return political struggle from the streets to the institutions.

Until a new Government is elected, he added, the current composition will continue to perform its duties at the same pace, achieve its goals, and continue to contribute to Serbia’s further progress.

After his address, the session was closed to journalists, when it is expected that the proposal will be adopted, and the media announce that the Prime Minister will announce the decision after the session.

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić previously said that he would most likely call the elections on Wednesday or Thursday, September 9 or 10, which is the last legal deadline for them to be held on October 25, as he had announced.
