The president has claimed the unrest is part of a coordinated “color revolution” backed by Western governments and NGOs
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said he will call early parliamentary elections in light of the ongoing anti-government protests.
The unrest began in November 2024 after a roof collapse at a railway station in Novi Sad killed 16 people. In the wake of the tragedy, activists accusing the government of corruption and demanding snap parliamentary elections and Vucic’s resignation.
Vucic and his supporters claim the protests are externally driven attempts at regime change and are part of a coordinated “color revolution” backed by Western governments through the use of NGOs. He has accused opposition forces of cooperating with Western, Croatian, and Albanian intelligence agencies to topple his government.
Vucic told reporters on Sunday that parliamentary elections “will be held before the end of the term” of the current National Assembly, which expires in December 2027.
