Tensions are rising, as Vucic's supporters prepare for confrontation, while he issues warnings about potential violence.

Despite leading since 2014, Vucic's defiant remarks emphasize his unwillingness to step down, responding to allegations and fears of unrest among demonstrators.
"You will have to kill me if you want to replace me," said President Vucic in a defiant stance against protestors demanding reform.
