Summary
Aleksandar Vucic said he will step down as Serbia's president within weeks and join his party's campaign for early elections expected later this year.
At a large rally in Belgrade, Vucic said he would help the party "win people's trust," signaling a planned shift from the presidency into an election role.
That move could keep Vucic in power if his party wins, because he would then be positioned to return as prime minister.
The announcement points to a broader power reshuffle in Serbia ahead of an early ballot that could redefine Vucic's formal role without ending his political dominance.
