Thousands of protesters gather in Serbia’s city of Kraljevo on Sunday, continuing demonstrations a day after President Aleksandar Vucic says he plans to step down within weeks. Protesters seek to maintain pressure for early presidential and parliamentary elections, which Vucic said would follow his departure. Some demonstrators express satisfaction with his announced resignation, but many say they remain concerned that he may not fully relinquish political control. Analysts cited by outlets say Vucic could seek another role after stepping down, potentially running for prime minister and influencing who leads the presidency through an ally. The demonstrations reflect uncertainty among parts of the public about whether the announced timeline and transfer of power will lead to genuine leadership change. The reports indicate that despite Vucic’s statement, protesters interpret the situation as ongoing and continue to call for reforms and elections.
