He added that the opinion of health experts will be taken into account regarding the election campaign.
Vučić announced that if all goes well, the Serbian parliament will lift the state of emergency on Wednesday, which is why the question of elections re-emerged. They had been scheduled for 26 April but were postponed due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
