“Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has announced his resignation. Speaking to a rally of supporters in Belgrade on Saturday, the Balkan nation’s leader stated he would stay in office ‘for a few more weeks’ before calling early presidential and parliamentary elections. The announcement came amid continued anti-government protests accompanied by sporadic clashes with police. The demonstrations are part of a movement that began after a 2024 railway station disaster in Novi Sad, which left 16 people dead. The Serbian government has repeatedly claimed the unrest was incited by Brussels as part of a pressure campaign aimed at forcing Belgrade to adjust its foreign policy in line with the EU.”
