Serbian Students Demand Resignations and Accountability Amid Power Transition

Analysed 29 Oct 2026·2 sources analysed·Novi Sad, Serbia·Politics
Serbian Students Demand Resignations and Accountability Amid Power TransitionPreviousNext

Following a historic election victory, Serbia's student movement demanded the resignation of top police, intelligence, and judiciary officials, citing corruption and calls for accountability. They urged swift official election result declarations and preservation of public sector documents during the transition of power. The outgoing Serbian Progressive Party, led by Aleksandar Vucic, denies corruption allegations. Vucic criticized the students, accusing them of inciting unrest. The students also called for audits of public institutions and investigations into incidents like the 2024 Novi Sad railway station collapse.
