These protesters are just being used by foreign powers to destabilize the country—Vucic is the strong leader Serbia needs to maintain order.
Inspiring to see so many people standing up to authoritarianism and demanding real democracy in Serbia! Vucic has been consolidating power for too long—mass movements like this are exactly how change happens.

Good for the Serbian people for standing up against government overreach. When a leader clings to power despite mass opposition, that’s a clear sign something’s wrong. No politician should be above accountability, and if Vucic has lost the people's trust, he should step aside. Protests like this show that people aren’t willing to be ruled by force or deception. The bigger issue here is how much power politicians have in the first place—if government were smaller, it wouldn’t matter as much who’s in charge. Hopefully, this leads to real change, not just another politician making the same mistakes.
