 Serbian Prime Minister Resigns Amid Ongoing Anti-Corruption Protests


Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic resigned on Tuesday, becoming the highest-ranking official to step down amid nationwide anti-corruption protests.


The demonstrations began after a deadly roof collapse at a railway station in Novi Sad killed 15 people, sparking public outrage and calls for Vucevic’s resignation. What started as localized protests in Novi Sad quickly spread to Belgrade, with students, teachers, and workers attributing the tragedy to corruption within President Aleksandar Vucic’s administration.


Two other officials—the minister for construction, transportation, and infrastructure, and the trade minister—had previously resigned, but the protests persisted.


At a news conference, Vucevic announced his resignation and that of Novi Sad's mayor, stating, "I took this step to defuse tensions and meet the demands of the most radical protesters."


Despite remaining largely peaceful, tensions escalated after three protesters in Novi Sad were attacked, reportedly by members of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). One woman sustained head injuries and was hospitalized.


Vucevic claimed foreign interference was fueling the protests but provided no evidence. Investigations into the attacks are ongoing.
