Massive Anti-Government Protest Challenges Serbian President's Rule

Tens of thousands gather in Belgrade in a student-led movement against corruption and President Aleksandar Vucic's 13-year grip on power.

The protest, led by university students, follows four months of demonstrations sparked by a deadly train station collapse blamed on government corruption.
Belgrade authorities halted public transport and restricted access to the city, citing security concerns, as crowds flooded the streets chanting anti-government slogans.
President Vucic accused Western intelligence of orchestrating the protests and warned of potential unrest, though no evidence has been provided for these claims.
Police reported sporadic violence, including a car ramming into protesters and attacks on demonstrators, resulting in injuries and multiple arrests.
The protests mark the largest challenge to Vucic's rule, with participants demanding accountability and expressing widespread disillusionment with state institutions.
