塞尔维亚政府提议解散议会提前举行选举

塞尔维亚政府周一提议解散议会，以启动提前举行议会选举的程序1。总统武契奇预计将在本周晚些时候正式宣布投票日期，可能定在10月25日1。

这次选举成为对武契奇长期统治的一次考验1。武契奇已在该党统治下执政14年1，并已连任两个完整任期，无法再竞选总统1。过去一年多来，塞尔维亚发生了大规模街头抗议1。2024年11月1日，塞尔维亚北部Novi Sad火车站发生混凝土顶棚坍塌事故，造成16人死亡1。此外，塞尔维亚的欧盟加入申请已陷入僵局1，而4月Ratko Mladic被埋葬的消息曾引发欧盟对武契奇的压力1。

Serbia's government moved forward on Monday with a proposal to dissolve Parliament, initiating procedures for an early election 1. President Aleksandar Vucic is expected to formally announce the voting date later this week, with October 25 as the anticipated election day 1.

The early election represents a significant test of Vucic's lengthy grip on power during his 14 years leading the ruling party 1. The call for early elections comes against a backdrop of sustained civil unrest, including large-scale street protests over the past year 1. A major catalyst for public discontent was the November 1, 2024 collapse of a concrete canopy at a train station in Novi Sad in northern Serbia, which killed 16 people and sparked widespread demonstrations 1. Additionally, international pressure mounted in April following the burial of Ratko Mladic, which drew criticism from the European Union 1.

Vucic has already completed two full presidential terms and is constitutionally barred from seeking another term as president 1. The upcoming election also occurs amid stalled progress on Serbia's application to join the European Union 1.
