A significant political development has emerged with Ana Brnabić, President of the National Assembly, proposing constitutional amendments to allow President Aleksandar Vučić to serve as Prime Minister and then return to the presidency. This comes as the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and its coalition partner, the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), maintain power in the current government led by Prime Minister Đuro Macut.
On the environmental front, President Aleksandar Vučić described the ongoing Deliblatska Peščara fire as 'very strange' and 'scattered,' hinting at unusual origins. The Ministry of Interior reported a significantly better situation in the area, with all available resources, including international assistance, deployed. Concurrently, experts have criticized recent state financial aid to citizens, suggesting it is intended for consumption and vote-buying rather than genuine support.
