  "summary": "Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned, according to CBC News and Winnipeg Free Press. He stepped down on Sunday to pursue a bid to become prime minister in an upcoming early parliamentary election.\n\nThe snap parliamentary election is set to take place on October 25, as reported by the Jerusalem Post. Vucic's Serbian Progressive Party and its allies will face opposition from Students Win, a student-led anti-corruption movement, and European Serbia, an alliance of pro-West parties.\n\nUnder Serbia's constitution, outgoing parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic will serve as interim president until a new one is elected, the Jerusalem Post stated. Vucic had announced his intention to resign as president earlier in the summer.",
