Feeds treat a snap date as already won.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic dissolved parliament ahead of snap elections. [1] Reuters filed the Wednesday dissolve. [1] Balkan Insight filed the October 25 date. [2] A call is not a result. Print October 25. Do not print a winner.

Student protests are the background file, not Thursday's count. Leave a named campaign table to the edition that owns a named campaign table. A dissolve is still not a majority.

Print the date. Print not a result. Wednesday is not election night.

October 25 remains a date, not a majority on this Wednesday politics desk.
A dissolve is still not election night.
Student protests remain background, not a result.
Wednesday is not election night on this Brussels politics desk this morning.
