Serbia’s protesting students demand a snap election
- University students protested in Belgrade on May 1, 2025, demanding a snap election amid ongoing anti-corruption demonstrations.
- The protests follow a train station disaster in Novi Sad on November 1, 2024, that killed 16 people and sparked months of unrest.
- Students coordinate via a shared social media account without leaders, organizing actions like a 2,000-kilometer run to the EU for drawing attention.
- Critics blame corruption and safety rule violations for the collapse, while government figures like Milos Vucevic call a snap election a disaster for Serbia.
- The protests have weakened President Aleksandar Vucic’s control, who alleges the demonstrations are a Western-backed “color revolution.
