Former president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic addresses his supporters gathered in a sports hall during the election campaign "Aleksandar Vucic for Prime Minister" rally in Belgrade, Serbia, on October 22, 2026, three days before the country's snap elections. The vote follows nearly two years of anti-corruption protests sparked by the November 2024 collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad that killed 16 people and grew into a student-led movement demanding early elections. Aleksandar Vucic resigned as president on September 27, 2026 to lead the SNS election campaign and seek a return as prime minister. (Photo by AFP via Getty Images)
