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.

Nearly 50 people were detained and dozens injured as rival groups clashed during anti-government protests in Serbia. Violence erupted in Novi Sad when ruling party supporters attacked demonstrators with flares, rocks, and bottles, while an army officer fired in the air. Clashes were reported in 90 locations nationwide, with riot police using tear gas in Belgrade. Protests, ongoing since November after a deadly train station collapse, demand early elections. President Aleksandar Vučić resists, balancing EU membership aspirations with close ties to Russia and China.

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.
