Vučić denies close links to Putin and says his country is on the path to the EU
Vučić acknowledged that Serbia had resisted falling in line with the rest of Europe in putting sanctions on Russia but did say Belgrade had repeatedly condemned the invasion of Ukraine.
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.

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

Trump has stunned observers by privately telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he wants to help Ukraine, despite recently pushing for the U.S. to freeze critical weapons deliveries. The contradictory moves have fueled speculation that Trump is leveraging military aid to gain influence over both Kyiv and Moscow ahead of the U.S. election. While Trump publicly blames Zelensky for prolonging the war, sources say he has quietly assured the Ukrainian leader of potential support if certain “conditions” are met.

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.
