—🇺🇸/🇷🇸 US Representative Joe Wilson:

Vucic tries to present the Serbian people as pro-Russia, pro-CCP, and pro-war criminal but this is a propagandistic LIE. The Serbian people want economic opportunity, prosperity, rule of law, and PEACE in the region. It is the Vucic regime alone that invites in authoritarian forces and fans the flames of hatred.

BREAKING:

🇷🇸 Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced his resignation


“I will resign from the office of President of Serbia on September 25 or 26 and spend the last month of the election campaign (before the parliamentary elections) as an ordinary citizen,” Serbian media quoted him as saying.


Parliamentary elections in Serbia are scheduled for October 25.

Last Wednesday, Vučić dissolved the country’s parliament.

Earlier in September, the leadership of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party said that if the party wins, Vučić should become the candidate for Prime Minister.

👑🇳🇴 With the death of Harald V of Norway, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden (b. 1946) and Felipe VI of Spain (b. 1968) are the only remaining European monarchs whose ancestry is essentially 100% royal.

Probably the last of their kind, as royal families increasingly marry outside the aristocracy.
