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.

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.
