- Vucic announced rallies across Serbia from June 26 to 28
- The central gathering is set for June 27 in Belgrade, afternoon and evening
- The president repeated that elections will take place this year, rejecting talk of May 2027
- He promised to present policy plans and what he called certain personnel decisions
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic laid out on Friday the schedule for a three-day series of Serbian Progressive Party rallies, set to run from June 26 to 28. The central gathering is planned for June 27 in Belgrade, with an afternoon and evening program, on the day Serbia marks Vidovdan.
Vucic said the party would hold a string of events over those three days, both in the capital and around the country, and would use the occasion to unveil policy plans and what he described as certain personnel decisions. He made the announcement a day earlier, on May 30, rounding out a calendar that the opposition and much of the public are reading as the run-up to an election year.
What did the president announce for the three days of rallies?
According to Vucic, the rallies will not be confined to a single location but spread across the country, with Belgrade as the focal point on June 27. The president invited citizens who, as he put it, do not want anger, destruction and hatred to attend the events.
Over those three days we will organize several important events, both in Belgrade and across Serbia, and present major policy initiatives.
Alongside the program and personnel decisions, Vucic also mentioned talks with a Chinese company that, by his account, would create around 3,000 jobs. With that, he tied the rally announcement to economic themes the party plans to push during the campaign.
Will elections really be held this year?
Asked about timing, the president was emphatic and dismissed speculation that the vote could be pushed to May of next year. He repeated that the deadline stays within this year.
No, they will be this year, as I promised, and people know they will be this year.
The announcement of three days of rallies and policy presentations comes as the election cycle sharpens, with the opposition and the student movement keeping pressure on the streets for months. Will the unveiling of personnel decisions and economic projects shift the political math before the vote the president says is coming this year?
