On 17 January 2016 Vučić called for a snap election claiming Serbia "needs four more years of stability so that it is ready to join the European Union". The National Assembly was dissolved on 3 March, thus turning the cabinet into a caretaker government.
Parliamentary election was held on 24 April 2016, and Vučić's Serbian Progressive Party-led coalition retained its majority, winning 131 of the 250 seats. Vučić announced the new cabinet on 8 August, consisting of eight old and eight new ministers, retaining the coalition with the Socialist Party. The new government was approved by the National Assembly on August 10.
