Serbia’s Prime Minister, Miloš Vučić, has announced his resignation following weeks of nationwide protests triggered by the fatal roof collapse at Novi Sad train station in November, which claimed the lives of 15 people.
The tragedy has fueled widespread outrage, with citizens blaming government negligence and demanding accountability at the highest levels of leadership.
Despite the prime minister’s resignation, the protests show no signs of abating as demonstrators continue to call for the resignation of President Aleksandar Vučić.
Many protesters argue that the president, who shares a familial connection with the outgoing prime minister, bears ultimate responsibility for the systemic failures that led to the deadly incident.
The resignation announcement, intended to address public grievances, has been met with skepticism. Protesters maintain that deeper reforms and broader leadership changes are necessary to prevent further tragedies and restore trust in the government.
As Serbia grapples with political turmoil, the fallout from the Novi Sad disaster underscores mounting frustrations over infrastructure safety, transparency, and governance.
President Vučić, however, has yet to address the growing calls for his own resignation, leaving the nation on edge as it navigates this crisis.
