Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will address the nation tonight at 8 pm (9 pm Bulgarian time).
Before that, President Vucic will attend a meeting of the Serbian government, which was scheduled after Milos Vucevic tendered his irrevocable resignation.
BGNES recalls that Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic has resigned. The entire cabinet has resigned but will serve until a new one is elected. The mayor of Novi Sad, Milan Djuric, will also step down.
Over the last two months, many thousands of people have protested in Serbia against the authoritarian, corrupt and police regime of President Aleksandar Vucic and the Serbian government. The protests began after what happened in Novi Sad on 1 November last year, for which citizens blame the authorities. The railway station's visor collapsed several months after a major renovation. Subsequently, the lack of supervision over the construction became apparent and reasonable suspicions of corruption in public procurement with Chinese companies emerged.
This morning, the 24-hour blockade of Belgrade's Avtokommanda neighbourhood ended. Protesters cleared the area of the main road junction in the Serbian capital after many had pitched their tents there overnight.
The 24-hour blockade was imposed just days after the general strike in Serbia, which took place on 24 January. | BGNES
