In a bid to quell ongoing protests in Serbia, Prime Minister Milos Vucevic resigned following a call from President Aleksandar Vucic for a government reshuffle. The protests erupted after the tragic deaths of 15 individuals during a structural failure at a railway station in Novi Sad. Students have led demonstrations, emphasizing public discontent and demanding transparency regarding reconstruction projects. It remains uncertain if Vucevic's departure will mitigate the unrest, as opposition efforts intensify against Vucic's long-standing rule amid a deeply polarized political climate.
Mr. Vucic has a long record of throwing allies overboard, at least for a time, and catching fractious opposition parties off balance.
Students, who have barricaded campuses for weeks, gathered on Tuesday outside the governing party's headquarters in Novi Sad, where unidentified pro-government supporters had beaten up several protesters.
