Two suspects have been arrested amid protests that the president claims are backed by foreign powers
The Serbian authorities have arrested two people suspected of plotting to assassinate President Aleksandar Vucic and his wife and children, the Interior Ministry has said. The arrests come as Serbia grapples with anti-government protests which Vucic says are driven by foreign interference.
In a statement on Monday, the Interior Ministry said the suspects – identified as D.R., 50, and M.R., 42, both residents of Kraljevo, Serbia – were detained in a joint operation involving several law enforcement agencies.
Officials allege that they conspired since December 2025 to “forcibly change the constitutional order of the Republic of Serbia.”
The operation would have involved “arranging the procurement of weapons and an attack on the life and body of the President of the Republic of Serbia, his wife and children,” as well as violence against police officers.
