In its June 15 morning politics block, Danas writes that one possible scenario for Aleksandar Vucic is to resign in two or three months, call a presidential election, calmly lose it to a candidate proposed by students and adopted by the protesting part of society, then move into the prime minister's office, reconstruct the government, and remain in power until early 2028 and the end of EXPO.

Possible scenarios for Vucic staying in power until 2028: let the presidential race go and move to parliamentary politics?

Danas presents this as a political scenario, not as a confirmed decision: in the outlet's assessment, Vucic knows that any presidential candidate he puts forward would not be strong enough against a candidate proposed by students and adopted by the protesting part of society. Danas therefore says the most likely model is his real resignation from the presidency in two or three months, the calling of elections, a calm defeat in the presidential race, a move into the prime minister's post, a government reconstruction, and remaining in power until early 2028, meaning until the end of EXPO. The article continues the open political storyline around a possible resignation and a later redistribution of power.

N1 published the Danas article with additional details of the scenario: lawyer Sinisa Nikolic describes a version in which Vucic leaves at a large staged Vidovdan rally, Ana Brnabic becomes acting president, the prime minister resigns, and parliament elects a new government with Vucic as prime minister. In the same version, Brnabic calls presidential elections for September 27, 2026, while Dejan Bursac of the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory says SNS has no favorable election plan and has avoided an early parliamentary vote for more than a year. Bursac links this to sustained social mobilization and a Belgrade protest that he estimates gathered 200,000 people.
