Thousands converging on Serbia’s capital for a major rally that tests Vucic’s populist government
Tens of thousands of people have swarmed the streets in Serbia’s capital Belgrade. They’re staging a euphoric prelude to a major anti-government rally on the weekend and dealing a major blow to populist President Aleksandar Vucic.
The citizens of Belgrade came out Friday to welcome thousands of university students who converged to Belgrade from across the country for a rally planned for Saturday that is expected to draw even more people. Saturday’s protest is seen as a culmination of months of anti-graft demonstrations in the Balkan country that have posed the biggest challenge so far for Vucic’s decade-long firm grip on power in Serbia.
