Fistfights in Serbia's parliament over deadly rail station roof collapse
Scuffles and fistfights broke out between ruling party and opposition lawmakers in Serbia’s parliament on Monday, weeks after a deadly rail station roof collapse sparked tensions in the Balkan state.
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.
