Belgrade erupts in anger over EU's plan for ties between Serbia,Kosovo | Explainer | Oneindia News
Several thousand people gathered in Belgrade yesterday evening to rally against Kosovo-Serbia talks on an 11-point agreement proposed by the European Union.
The protesters are against the Western nations backed deal to normalise ties between Kosovo and Serbia, which they view as recognition of Kosovo’s independence.
The protesters held Serbian flags and banners that read "Kosovo is not for sale," "Serbia, not European Union," and "No to capitulation." Few months back also, tempers had flared up… and Serbia had put its army on the highest combat alert after days of escalating tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.
In this video, we explain what is the conflict between Serbia and Kosovo…and what is the 11 point agreement that has been proposed by the European Union.

Mass protests erupt in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, as over 140,000 people—led by university students—demand snap elections and the resignation of President Aleksandar Vučić after 12 years in power. Riot police fired tear gas and arrested dozens during violent street clashes that have rocked Slavija Square for hours.
Russia has now entered the fray: Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warns the West to stay out of Serbia’s internal affairs, denouncing attempts to trigger a “color revolution.” With the memory of Novi Sad’s deadly station collapse still fresh, the protest movement is surging—and Moscow is watching.
Is Serbia on the edge of political transformation—or foreign interference?

Serbia's capital descended into chaos as thousands of anti-government protesters clashed with riot police in Belgrade, demanding the resignation of President Aleksandar Vucic and early elections. The unrest followed months of student-led protests and culminated on St. Vitus Day, a symbolic national holiday.
Demonstrators accused Vucic of corruption, authoritarianism, and links to organized crime. Violence erupted after 10 PM as protesters hurled bottles and flares, prompting forceful police retaliation. Dozens were detained and six officers injured. Vucic blamed “foreign powers” for orchestrating the turmoil and declared the protesters had “failed to topple Serbia.”
The government, meanwhile, arrested opposition figures and vowed to use all legal means to restore order. The crisis deepens the standoff between Serbia’s ruling coalition and its citizens, with the opposition demanding snap elections and an end to what they call Vucic’s 12-year autocratic grip on power.

A fierce war of words has erupted between the United States and Russia after former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% if Moscow does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking at a White House press event, warned that he was "very unhappy" with the ongoing conflict and that severe economic consequences would follow.
Responding to the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a sharp and dismissive rebuke from China. Lavrov stated unequivocally, "We are not worried, it's not our job to worry," indicating that Russia is prepared to withstand any new sanctions. He further mocked Trump's timeline, pointing out the shifting deadlines from the US. "Now it's 50 days, it used to be 24 hours, also 100 days. We've been through that already," Lavrov commented, suggesting a lack of seriousness in the American threat.
The defiant stance was echoed by Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov, who asserted that "any attempts to make demands or ultimatums are unacceptable" to the Kremlin. This bold response comes even as the United States finalizes plans to supply more advanced weaponry to Ukraine, with funding provided by the European Union. Russia's confidence appears unshaken, escalating geopolitical tensions and leaving the world to wonder what Trump's next move will be in this high-stakes standoff.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has ordered a full probe and vowed to halt any arms exports if private firms are involved after Russia accused that Serbia secretly supplied weapons to Ukraine. The Report by Russian Intel has triggered political uproar in Belgrade. Russian intel alleges hundreds of thousands of shells and small arms rounds reached Kyiv via intermediaries across Europe and Africa. Past Pentagon leaks and Financial Times reports echo similar claims, despite Serbian officials denying direct involvement and blaming rogue intermediaries for unauthorized arms transfers.

Russia accuses Serbia of secretly supplying arms to Ukraine via NATO states, undermining its declared neutrality in the war. Russian intelligence alleges Serbian ammunition is reaching Kyiv through intermediaries in Czechia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Africa. Reports claim over $855 million in Serbian arms have flowed to Ukraine since 2024. While Serbia denies direct involvement, officials admit weapons may appear via third parties. As Belgrade balances EU aspirations and ties with Moscow, the controversy risks straining its geopolitical tightrope.
