On June 28, 2025, large student-led protests erupted in Belgrade against President Aleksandar Vucic's government following a series of nationwide rallies. Protesters, primarily students, demand early parliamentary elections and threaten civil disobedience if their demands are not met. Recent clashes with police occurred as demonstrators, numbering around 140,000, faced riot gear-wearing officers who used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse crowds. The protests were fueled by government negligence related to a deadly rail station collapse, igniting public outrage against Vucic's leadership as he accuses foreign powers of inciting unrest.
The reluctance of Vucic makes it all the more important to be there now, as university students have become a driving force behind the anti-government movement.
The country will be defended, and thugs will face justice, said Vucic in response to the escalating protests, which he attributes to foreign influences.
