Thousands rally for Vucic amid student-led protests (VIDEOS)

During the rally, the Serbian president declared that “the color revolution is over”

Tens of thousands of people have been gathering in Belgrade since Friday to show support for President Aleksandar Vucic in the face of significant anti-government protests in Serbia.

Student-led demonstrations against alleged corruption and government negligence have been ongoing in the country for months. The protests, sparked by the deadly collapse of a concrete canopy at the railway station in the city of Novy Sad in November 2024, culminated in a massive rally in Belgrade on March 15, which was followed by clashes between dozens of protesters and the police.

During the demonstrations filmed by RT on Saturday Vucic declared that “the color revolution is over,” adding that “they can walk as much as they wish, but nothing will come out of that.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban addressed the rally via video link, stating, “Serbian patriots can count on their Hungarian counterparts.”

The opposition Freedom and Justice Party (SSP) has accused security forces of utilizing a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), crowd-control technology originally designed by the US Navy and which poses a significant risk of hearing damage, at the protests on March 15

Vucic’s government has alleged that the US “deep state” and European intelligence agencies are inciting the wave of protests in retaliation for Serbia’s refusal to endorse anti-Russian policies.
