A snap general election in Serbia may take place by September, President Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday as he responded to opposition rallies after two recent mass shootings that shocked the Balkan nation.
“The vote would be held no later than September,” Vucic said in a press conference in eastern town of Smederevo, one of locations where citizens brought weapons following the government’s call to surrender unlicensed firearms. He was commenting on the opposition’s calls to replace the interior minister and a top intelligence official.
