Vucic: Let's finish preparations for EXPO first, then we will call early elections

ZAJECAR - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who is also a Serbian Progressive Party Presidency member, said on Friday early parliamentary elections could be called once preparations for EXPO 2027 Belgrade were finished.

"We will win those elections, too," Vucic said during a visit to the Jelasnica village near Zajecar, eastern Serbia, responding to questions from reporters about comments that he was afraid of elections.

"We have EXPO, and we need to prepare for EXPO. Once we finish the preparations for EXPO, we will give them (the opposition) early elections, and in those elections... I am afraid they are badly wrong. When I thought they have a chance of winning, it turned out that they no longer do, and we will defeat them convincingly," Vucic said.
