​Serbia’s anticorruption protests intensify as tensions rise in Belgrade​

Tens of thousands are gathering in Belgrade for a high-stakes anti-corruption rally. This marks the peak of months of protests challenging President Vučić's autocratic rule.

President Vučić's supporters set up camp near the presidential palace, raising the stakes for Saturday's rally. Security forces are ready for possible confrontation, with threats of force looming.

The Serbian president remains defiant, saying, “You will have to kill me if you want to replace me.” His unyielding stance fuels the growing discontent among protesters.

Tractors, a symbol of Vučić’s support, are brought to the parliament building, signaling his readiness to push back. This mobilization highlights the growing political divide in Belgrade.

Ultranationalists, including members linked to the infamous Red Berets, have been spotted among the president's supporters. Their presence adds an alarming layer to the already tense political environment.

Protesters demand justice for the tragic collapse of a roof in Novi Sad that killed 14 people. They seek transparency and an end to corruption, calling for real political reform.

European lawmakers voice concerns over Serbia’s commitment to democratic reforms as protests intensify. The EU’s response to this crisis will test Serbia’s future in the bloc.

Protest leaders make it clear that the fight isn’t over, pledging to stay on the streets until justice is served. The movement for change is gaining momentum despite the hurdles ahead.
