Story summary
Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic, who has been in power for 12 years, announced on September 14 that he will run for prime minister in an October 25 election. This announcement came amid ongoing student-led protests against corruption following a railway station roof collapse in Novi Sad last November which killed 16 people. On the same day, thousands of opposition supporters rallied in central Belgrade to back parliamentary candidates for the "Students Win" movement, an opposition group seeking to reset institutions and fight corruption.
Vucic told Pink TV on September 22 that he would resign as president on September 27 but did not specify his reasons. He has faced nearly two years of demonstrations triggered by the tragic incident in Novi Sad. The main opposition parties, including the Democratic Party and Kreni Promeni Movement, have pledged their support to the student-led movement, aiming to challenge Vucic's long-standing rule.
