Belgrade, Serbia: Violence escalated across Serbia as anti-government protests entered their fifth consecutive night. In Valjevo, masked protesters set fire to the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) offices before clashing with riot police. Security forces deployed tear gas and stun grenades as demonstrators hurled fireworks and rocks in Belgrade and Novi Sad. The protests, sparked by a deadly railway station collapse last year that killed 16, have grown into a massive anti-corruption movement now demanding early elections. Viral videos showing police brutality have fueled outrage, including clips of officers beating unarmed protesters. Despite the resignation of the prime minister, President Aleksandar Vučić remains defiant, denouncing the unrest as a foreign-backed plot. Russia pledged support for the embattled leader, while the Council of Europe urged Serbian authorities to end excessive force. The nation now faces its biggest political crisis in over a decade.

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?
