Serbia’s populist prime minister, Milos Vucevic, has resigned in an attempt to calm political tensions stoked by weeks of massive anti-corruption protests sparked by the deadly collapse of a concrete overhang at a recently renovated train station.

The protests, including one Tuesday evening in Novi Sad that drew thousands of people, have spread to streets and university campuses throughout the country of roughly 6.
Vucevic became the prime minister in April 2024 after his party won an election marred by tensions and captured more than five times as many seats as any other party. The students’ call for justice has resonated in a country where corruption is widespread and few feel that state institutions are serving the public’s interests.
“If the president thinks that by replacing one, essentially, unimportant figure ... will solve the problem ... he is deeply mistaken,” Jovancicevic said. ”This must lead to total political changes because autocracy and dictatorship in Serbia, in the heart of Europe, must be stopped.”In an attempt to defuse tensions on Monday, Vucic, Vucevic and the parliament’s speaker, Ana Brnabic called for talks with the students.
“I can never justify or understand many of these protests, blockades of lives, of roads and the freedom of movement of other citizens,” Vucevic said.
