Thousands of protesters on Sunday rallied in central Serbia, a day after President Aleksandar Vucic said he would step down within weeks following more than a year of student-led protests.
"The students are winning," Nemanja Karovic, a Belgrade professor who supports the movement, told the crowd from a stage in the main square in Kraljevo, some 170 kilometres (105 miles) south of the capital Belgrade.
Serbia has seen regular student-led, anti-government protests since the collapse of a railway station canopy in the northern city of Novi Sad in November 2024.
The incident, which killed 16 people, has been widely blamed on broader government mismanagement of construction projects and systemic corruption.
