Netanyahu ally Serbian President Vucic resigns, paving way for early elections

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned, triggering early presidential elections and paving the way for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ally to potentially become the new leader. Vucic, a populist, announced his resignation seven months before his term ends, citing his role in campaigning for the upcoming snap parliamentary vote on October 25.

The presidential election must be completed within 90 days, with the campaign lasting between 30 and 60 days, and the new president will be inaugurated by the end of December.
