Ivica Dačić in the National Assembly, as he says, in accordance with the Constitution, announced regular presidential elections for April 3, 90 days before the end of the mandate of the President of the Republic.
The decision enters into force upon publication in the Official Gazette, which means that the assembly's actions officially begin immediately. Parties and other proposers have the right to nominate their candidates until March 12 at midnight.
The President of the Republic will have a full mandate until the beginning of May, regardless of the fact that elections have been called, because there is no legal possibility of a technical mandate for the President.
Dacic did not run for president himself, the Socialist Party of Serbia will stand behind Vučić as a joint candidate, as in the previous presidential elections in 2017, when Vučić defeated Saša Janković (55,06%) in the first round with 16,35 percent.
In these elections, citizens will have a real choice among those who stand on the line for Vučić, from the green-left, through the civil-liberal, to the far-right spectrum. Vučić is considered an undisputed candidate, the goal of the opposition is to fight for the second round of the presidential elections and then create a referendum atmosphere "for" and "against" the progressive government.
So far, the following have run for the presidential elections: Zdravko Ponoš - the general who wants to take the ram by the horns, Biljana Stojković - biology professor with activism in genes, Bosko Obradovic - orthodox patriot, Milos Jovanovic– HOPE of the civil right, Srdjan Skoro - journalist from the bureau, Branka Stamenković – the queen of retrograde Mercury, Misha Vacic - for Ratko Mladić and against abortion, Milica Djurdjevic Stamenkovski - for Russia, Kosovo and so on.
