Mass Anti-Government Protest Across Serbia

Thousands of anti-government demonstrators blocked roads and highways throughout Serbia in a sweeping protest against President Aleksandar Vučić and his administration.

The coordinated action, held across multiple cities including Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Nis, saw roads and major thoroughfares shut down for hours. Protesters used cars, trucks, and human chains to halt traffic, disrupting travel and drawing public attention to their cause.

This marks the latest in a series of demonstrations organized by Serbia Against Violence, a coalition of opposition parties and civic groups. The alliance has long accused Vučić’s government of fostering a climate of corruption, enabling violence, and manipulating electoral processes—especially in relation to December’s local elections, which the opposition claims were riddled with irregularities.

The protestors’ demands include the annulment of election results, fresh polls under fair conditions, and greater media freedom. Chanting slogans such as “He’s finished” and “We won’t give up,” demonstrators say they will continue until their demands are met.

The government has dismissed the allegations of fraud, with President Vučić and ruling party officials labeling the protests as politically motivated stunts.

International observers, including the European Union, have expressed concern over the allegations and urged Serbian authorities to ensure transparency and accountability in future electoral processes.
