Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević has resigned today following escalating student protests and mounting pressure on the government.
The resignation comes as students, supported by farmers, intensified their demonstrations by blocking Belgrade’s major Autokomanda junction, where two main south-eastern roads converge towards the city centre.
The protests, which began after a fatal railway station roof collapse in Novi Sad that killed 15 people on November 1, have focused on allegations of government corruption. The tragedy sparked widespread student-led demonstrations across Serbia.
President Aleksandar Vučić had attempted to address the unrest by proposing dialogue with protesters and suggesting a government reshuffle on Monday, just a day before Vučević’s resignation.
The prime minister’s departure marks a significant development in Serbia’s political crisis as protesters continue to demand accountability and reform.
The situation continues to evolve.
