SNS president Milos Vucevic said Serbia should expect both parliamentary and presidential elections in autumn, but that the party has not yet discussed a presidential candidate. Danas and 021 report his estimate of a possible September, October, or November timeframe and his view that the vote will probably be SNS's hardest since 2012, while Novosti separately publishes Aleksandar Vucic's message framing the future vote as a choice between 'Serbia of the past' and 'Serbia of the future.'

Vucevic: Parliamentary and presidential elections in autumn; no candidate discussed

Danas reports Milos Vucevic's statement: SNS has not discussed possible presidential candidates, and the candidate should be worthy of the office and able to win. He said that if the president of the republic speaks of possibly resigning in a few weeks, that means presidential elections, while if 'blockaders' are promised a chance to go to elections soon, he expects a parliamentary context. In his estimate, the autumn window is September, October, or November.

Overall takeaway

The checked articles agree on the core point: SNS leadership is publicly preparing the public for autumn parliamentary and presidential elections, but the formal date and presidential candidate have not been announced.

What this means for residents

For voters

There is still no official date, but public statements by the ruling party already narrow expectations to autumn 2026.

For the campaign

Vucevic describes the coming elections as probably SNS's hardest since 2012 and says victory is guaranteed to no one.

For procedure

The articles describe political expectations and statements, not a formal decision to call elections.
