Milos Vucevic resigns as Serbia’s prime minister amid protests

Serbia’s Prime Minister Milos Vucevic announced his resignation amid mass student protests in the country.

On January 27, Vucevic participated, together with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic, in a press conference that focused on the students’ demands. The Serbian leader asked at that event for an urgent reshuffle of the Cabinet.

“My irrevocable decision is to resign as President of the Government of the Republic of Serbia. This morning I had a long meeting with the president of the republic, (…) and he accepted my decision and my arguments,” Vucevic declared at an urgently called press conference.
