Serbian Protests: Vučić Faces Unprecedented Challenge
Massive student-led protests, the largest in Serbian history, erupted following a deadly railway station collapse attributed to government corruption and negligence. Demonstrations, fueled by widespread anger over government accountability and authoritarian rule, have spread nationwide, encompassing various social groups. The protests, unlike previous opposition-led movements, are characterized by a decentralized student-led structure, effectively circumventing state-controlled media. Despite government attempts at appeasement, including a ministerial resignation, the protests continue, driven by youth unemployment and a desire for democratic reform.
