The largest rally in Serbia’s history is currently taking place in Belgrade. People are demanding the rule of law, democracy, and government accountability. The authoritarian regime of Aleksandar Vučić cannot provide this. It must go!

At the kind invitation of the Student Plenum of the Faculty of Security Studies, I took part in an excellent roundtable discussion today on the necessity of a democratic reset—not only of the security sector in Serbia but of the entire political system. We stayed for nearly two and a half hours!

Around 50k citizens gathered today in front of Serbia’s public broadcaster, demanding objective reporting. This is part of a larger anti-corruption student mobilisation which started in November. On Monday, many schools will go on strike. Serbia appears to be sliding toward a general strike.
