Milos Vucevic stepped down as Serbian prime minister on Jan. 28 over the developments in the country following the tragedy in Novi Sad on Nov. 1, 2024, when a concrete canopy collapsed at the local Railway Station, killing 15 and severely injuring another two people. 

Since, students across Serbia have been organizing blockades every day, demanding accountability for the Novi Sad tragedy. The protesting students have been attacked and beaten on several occasions, with the latest incident occurring in Novi Sad in the night between Jan. 27 and 28, in which one young female sustained severe injuries. 

Vucevic took the helm of the Serbian Government on May 2, 2024. 

A Serbian Parliament session, scheduled for Jan. 29 to discuss confidence in the Vucevic cabinet, has been canceled.
