Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic on Sunday (August 17, 2025) announced tough measures against anti-government protesters following days of riots in the streets throughout Serbia that have challenged his increasingly autocratic rule in the Balkan country.
In one of his frequent TV addresses to the public, Mr. Vucic accused the anti-government demonstrators of “pure terrorism” and reiterated his claims that months of persistent protests against his rule have been orchestrated in the West and aimed at destroying Serbia.
