The parliamentary elections in Serbia in 2016 took place on April 24th. It should not normally have taken place until March 2018, but was brought forward by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić by two years on January 17, 2016, as “Serbia needs four more years of stability” to “be ready for accession to the European Union”. The parliamentary elections were held in parallel with regional elections in the Serbian province of Vojvodina and national local elections.
