Serbian President dissolves parliament
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic, on Friday, March 4, dissolved the parliament and called early elections on April 24. With an appeal to dissolve the parliament and appoint early elections to the president, the government appealed on March 3. The government's appeal is connected with the statement of Serbian Prime Minister Alexander Vučić, who demanded a new "clear mandate for reform" and the successful conclusion of the negotiations on accession to the EU.
The forthcoming reforms will be carried out in accordance with the terms of the loan from the IMF. Vucic promises to cut the public sector, subsidizing unprofitable enterprises and a budget deficit. The expected tranche of financial assistance from the IMF will be delayed, unless a new government is formed.
After signing the decree on elections, President Nikolic noted that he would be happy if the ruling coalition of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) of Prime Minister Vučić wins.
