Vucic's supporters gathered in front of parliament, chanting "Vucic, the Serb" and "Serbia" while loudspeakers played patriotic songs. Many of them had traveled to the capital in busses arranged by Vucic's party.
With over 10,000 attendees, the rally was the largest pro-government event this time, according to Reuters substantiations. Still, a largeanti-corruption kick on Saturday that attracted knockouts of thousands of scholars and activists overwhelmed the gathering, according to Reuters substantiations.
"You are those who are defending peace, stability and the constitutional order,"
parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic, a top Vucic ally, told the crowd.
The demonstrations started a time ago after sixteen people were killed when the roof of a road station in the northern megacity of Novi Sad collapsed. Public roar over alleged corruption and a lack of responsibility was sparked by the circumstance, and a time later, there were no executions.
On Wednesday, police dressed in riot gear blocked off the area surrounding Vucic's supporters in order to keep them apart from anti-government demonstrators who were chanting anti-Vucic slogans.
Since March, Vucic supporters have occupied the area with a tent encampment, and last week, groups supporting and opposing the government engaged in combat there.
Vucic and his allies are accused of corruption, violence against
political opponents, media suppression, and connections to organized crime by
students, rights organizations, academics, and opposition members who support
early elections. This is denied by Vucic and his supporters.
What triggered the year of anti-government protests in Serbia?
The time of anti-government demonstrators in Serbia was touched off by the deadly collapse of the cover at the recently repaired road station in Novi Sad on November 1, 2024, which killed 16 people and injured others. The tragedy exposed wide wrathfulness over government negligence and corruption, with President Aleksandar Vucic's administration snappily coming under fire for failing to take responsibility.
The day after the collapse, citizens gathered in grief and kick, demanding responsibility and the abdication of the Minister of Construction and structure.
The demurrers, originally led by scholars, escalated into massive civil demonstrations involving road leagues, faculty and academy strikes, and public rallies. A defining symbol came from the" bloody hands" painted by protesters, signifying government guilt.
