Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said today that extraordinary parliamentary elections will be held on October 25, as he fights to be elected prime minister and strengthen his control over politics after almost two years of student-led protests, the British agency Reuters reported on its website.
The opposition and protesters accuse Vučić and his allies of violence against political rivals, widespread corruption, ties to organized crime and suppression of press freedom, accusations that the president and his associates deny, Reuters reported.
