Vučić Holds Party Talks as Serbia Election Speculation Grows

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is holding consultations with party representatives, amid speculation about possible early elections. A commentator noted that Vučić has never called elections when the trend was unfavorable to him. Another analyst said Vučić's position with the EU is changing significantly without Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, whose funds he used as a "regime ATM." Vučić said that "blockaders" who once claimed 76 percent public support have now fallen to 36 percent. He also clashed with Hungarian politician Péter Magyar over a Putin "godfather" remark.
