The move comes seven months before the end of his second and final term, and allows him to potentially take on the role of Prime Minister if his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) forms the new government after the early parliamentary elections on October 25. Vucic will be succeeded by Ana Brnabic as interim president until a new head of state is elected, with the first round expected to take place by the end of December. He announced the pardon of 49 people who were arrested or charged in connection with recent demonstrations.",
