Despite impressive economic growth and decreasing unemployment, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is confronted with widespread protests, primarily from students in Belgrade and older citizens. These demonstrations criticise government corruption, the high cost of living, and Vucic’s authoritarian governance style. In response to the unrest, the government proposed offering state-subsidized loans to young people, which was outright rejected by student leaders. Public discontent is also fed by Vucic’s dismissal of critics as being influenced by foreign agents, raising questions about the health of Serbia's democracy and governance.
