Over 100,000 people gathered in the streets of Belgrade, Serbia, on Saturday to protest against the country’s leader, President Aleksandar Vucic. This marks the biggest crowd yet in a series of protests that have been ongoing for weeks.
The protesters, who came from all walks of life, carried banners and chanted slogans calling for Vucic to step down. They accused him of being a dictator and of stifling media freedom and democracy in the country. Many also expressed anger over the government’s handling of the economy and corruption allegations.
The protest was organized by a coalition of opposition parties and civil society groups, who have been calling for Vucic’s resignation for months. They have accused him of consolidating power and undermining democratic institutions since he came to power in 2017.
Vucic has denied the accusations and has dismissed the protests as the work of foreign powers trying to destabilize the country. He has also accused the opposition of trying to incite violence and create chaos.
The protest on Saturday was largely peaceful, with no reports of violence or arrests. However, tensions remain high in the country, and there are fears that the situation could escalate if the government does not address the protesters’ demands.
The international community has been closely monitoring the situation in Serbia, with many expressing concern over the growing political unrest. The European Union has called on the Serbian government to respect the right to peaceful protest and to engage in dialogue with the opposition.
As the protests continue to grow in size and intensity, it remains to be seen how the government will respond. The people of Serbia are demanding change, and they are showing no signs of backing down until their voices are heard.
