AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoSnap Election Call: Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić dissolved parliament and set early parliamentary elections for October 25, citing social tensions and warning that delays could “jeopardize” democracy and the EXPO project—while critics say the move is aimed at consolidating his grip amid nearly two years of student-led protests. Student Bloc Mobilization: The student movement says the “Student list – Students are winning” is formed, with a pre-campaign start in Novi Sad on September 10 and claims the official list will be published “in the next few days,” as opposition parties weigh whether to back it. Security & Surveillance Claims: A new report alleges the BIA is using spyware and surveillance against student activists during the election run-up, feeding fresh accusations of election interference and abuse of state security powers. EU Pressure Over War-Crime Honours: The fallout from Serbia’s handling of the Ratko Mladić funeral continues to drive EU backlash and scrutiny of Serbia’s EU path. Foreign Policy & Trade: Serbia’s diplomacy highlights new ties with Uzbekistan (including zero-tariff free trade talks) and continued outreach to partners like Singapore ahead of Expo 2027. Regional Security Allegations: Separate leaked intelligence claims say Western special-forces veterans may have trained Russians in camps in Bulgaria and Serbia, a story likely to intensify security and legal questions.
