Serbia's President Vucic resigns to run for prime minister
Original: Serbia’s populist president Aleksandar Vučić resigns to run for prime minister
Serbia's populist president Aleksandar Vucic has resigned from the presidency in order to run for prime minister, according to the Guardian. The move marks an unusual switch from head of state to head of government, and is drawing attention to what it means for the balance of power in Serbian politics and the country's direction at home and abroad.
Why now: A sitting president stepping down to seek the premiership is an unexpected power shuffle attracting wide regional and international interest.
