Amid ongoing antigovernment protests in Serbia, President Aleksandar Vucic announced that 38 of 77 arrested demonstrators remain in custody and face criminal charges. He accused protest organizers of inciting violence during a massive rally in Belgrade, where clashes erupted after the event. Critics argue that Vucic has increasingly become authoritarian since taking office, undermining democratic freedoms and enabling corruption. The protests were triggered by the death of 16 people in a train station roof collapse, which highlighted what many see as pervasive corruption within the government.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic confirmed that 38 out of 77 arrested protestors remain in custody, facing criminal charges for clashes with police during antigovernment protests.
Vucic accused protest organizers of inciting violence, stating, 'This is not the end,' and vowing many more arrests following the clashes at the Belgrade rally.
Critics claim Vucic has become increasingly authoritarian, stifling democratic freedoms since his rise to power, leading to public dissent that culminated in the current protests.
The rally in Belgrade was one of the largest protests against Vucic's regime, triggered by a tragic train station collapse that exposed deep-rooted corruption.
