Violent clashes erupted across multiple cities in Serbia, including Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, and Vrbas, as anti-government protesters confronted supporters of President Aleksandar Vucic and police forces. The unrest followed more than nine months of persistent demonstrations against Vucic's populist regime, initially sparked by a tragic railway disaster that killed 16 people and fueled demands for accountability and early elections. Student-led protests escalated into riots, with demonstrators vandalizing and demolishing offices of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), including in Novi Sad and Belgrade. Supporters of the ruling party reportedly threw flares, firecrackers, and other projectiles at protesters, further intensifying the confrontations. Police responded with tear gas and baton charges to disperse crowds, leading to dozens of injuries among protesters, police officers, and government supporters. Official reports indicated more than 110 arrests and over 75 police officers injured during the clashes. President Vucic condemned the violence, accusing Western countries of orchestrating a color revolution to destabilize Serbia and vowed mass arrests to prevent civil war. Despite the turmoil, Vucic announced early elections and pledged not to seek another term, signaling a major shift in Serbia's political landscape. The ongoing unrest reflects deep divisions within Serbian society amid growing calls for political change and concerns over corruption and human rights.
