im literally the last guy who has any sympathy for this guy, but how naive one needs to be to claim that such protests are completely “spontaneous* and are not supported or helped by people from foreign governments/intelligence agencies ? how naive one needs to be to claim that the reason behind it is a “train station tragedy”?
this is clearly FSB/CIA/*paste hier intelligence service of your choice* playbook.
He called Xi his “Brate” for bro didn’t he?
Serbia is not even in the European Union and the people are taking action.
Romania take a note from these people, who are more european than you.
In Romania a fire killed 64 people, mostly young ones and there were no beds for burn victims. Romanians protested, nothing happened, nothing changed, 10 years later, still no beds for burned victims and tragedies are still happening (2 fires in the last year and people died because of, you guessed it, no beds for burned victims). Romanians are completely obedient and don’t give much of a fuck, just some internet barking.
So learn from Serbia, Romania!
My respect for the serbian people from a unfortunately romanian-born citizen.
I am from Serbia and an active member the student organization in Belgrade.
There is nothing I would like to see more than Vucic losing power.
That being said, there is a huge problem in the Serbian politics where people do not trust politicians of any kind. There is a widespread belief that “all politicians are the same” and they do not want to give their vote to the opposition (which frankly is highly disorganised but they 1. didnt build their careers on war mongering, ethnic cleansing and ethnonationalism 2. Didnt steal billions of dollars, and kill bunch of people, destroy already weak democratic institutions, kill journalism and freedom of press, ruin the lives of thousands of farmers in the last 12 years) whilst Vucic has his constant number of 1-1.5 million bribed, threatened, blackmailed, propganda influenced (allegedly, Croatian government pays students to destroy Serbia), non citizen, deceased, voters that arent much influenced by these protests.
On the other hand, no single opposition party/organization /leader does not have more than 10% in the polls (and the opposition keeps refusing to unite).
Although students have wide-spread support in the population since they are seen as “pure” and they would probably beat SNS in election, it is surreal to expect student movement made by hundreds of different ideologies and world views, to run a country.
So in conclusion, i just do not see how can Vucic be toppled by these protests, even though he is shaken and his authority finally brought in question (he does not have any solution for students and teachers. Threats, bribes and false “demand fulfillment” did not work)
On the first day of November, Aleksandar Matkovic was running late for a train. He was traveling from Novi Sad, in the north of Serbia, to its capital Belgrade, where he works as an economic historian. When he got to the station, he witnessed a scene of horror that has rocked the country to this day.
Minutes before he arrived, the canopy of the station – where reconstruction had been completed months earlier – had collapsed, crushing passengers waiting on the platform. Fifteen people were killed.
“I stood there for about two or three hours, just staring blankly at the space where the canopy was. The whole thing was so unrealistic,” Matkovic told CNN.
Shock soon turned to anger. The crumbled canopy has come to serve as a potent symbol of what many Serbs see as corruption at the heart of the state, sculpted by President Aleksandar Vucic and his government over 12 years in power. What began as vigils for the dead have become near-daily protests, drawing in ever-larger segments of Serbian society and reaching every corner of the Balkan nation. “We’re in uncharted territory,” said Matkovic.
The student-led demonstrations, demanding the full release of documents about the reconstruction works, have become so large and so lasting that some have questioned whether they could bring down Vucic’s reign. “All sorts of questions are going through people’s minds,” said Matkovic.
Vucic has dominated Serbia since coming to power as prime minister in 2014, then president three years later. A former information minister for the brutal Yugoslav regime of Slobodan Milosevic, Serbian democracy has degraded under Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). Freedom House, which measures the strength of democracies, said Serbia declined from “free” to “party free” in 2019, citing attacks on the media and concentration of power in the hands of the president.
His regime is hard to categorize, analysts say. It is not as repressive as Aleksander Lukashenko’s Belarus, but neither as permissive as Viktor Orban’s Hungary. Ivana Stradner, a fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said Vucic has “made Serbia what Russia was like in the early 1990s, leaning towards a criminal, corrupt state with no rule of law.”

Still, his detractors praise him as a canny operator. In an increasingly multipolar world, countries such as Serbia – a regional powerhouse that the West has tried to prize away from its historic ally Russia – enjoy plenty of options. For Moscow, Serbia can stem the westward slide of other Balkan nations. For Europe, a huge proposed lithium mine could make it important for the green transition. For China, Serbia offers the chance to extend its influence through the Belt and Road Initiative.
Even some in the United States have interests in the country. Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, is reportedly working on a deal to build a Trump-branded hotel in Belgrade, with capital from various Gulf states.
For Serbia, this transactional approach may not add up to a coherent ideology – it has sold weapons to Ukraine but refuses to join sanctions against Russia – but it has been profitable. Serbia has been kept plied with Russian gas, Chinese infrastructure, European investment, and even glitzy American construction projects.
He is not a hardliner he is a dictator.
Tick Toc. His time has come…
Europe say: VUCIC OUT !
