Protests in Serbia, Vučić accuses foreign agents: They want to overthrow me
Aleksandar Vucic

Serbia's president has accused foreign intelligence services of trying to overthrow him after protests spread across the country and said he will not leave the country like ousted Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, the AP agency writes.

AP points out that on Tuesday, President Aleksandar Vučić published a message via Instagram in which he says he will fight for Serbia and will "serve only his Serbian people and all other citizens of Serbia," and that "he will never serve foreigners who seek to defeat, humiliate and destroy Serbia."

Opponents of the populist leader compare him to Assad, who fled to Moscow after a swift rebel offensive that ended the Assad family's 50-year rule in that country, the AP agency writes. This agency adds that opponents in Serbia have compared Vucic to Assad and other world dictators, predicting that he too could leave the country if he loses his firm grip on power amid protests sparked by the collapse of the roof at the Novi Sad train station, where 15 people died on November 1, Paparaci reports.

The AP reports that demonstrations in Novi Sad, Belgrade and other cities over the deadly roof collapse blame widespread corruption in the country, which led to sloppy work on the renovation of the Novi Sad railway station, as part of a broader deal with Chinese state-owned companies involved in several infrastructure projects in the Balkan country.

The roof collapse sparked widespread dissatisfaction with Vučić's increasingly autocratic rule, reflecting public demands for democratic change in the country.

The agency reports that Vučić stated in his video message that the spread of the protests, which have recently been joined by students, "has been financed by the West with the aim of overthrowing him and his government using various hybrid tactics used to undermine the country."

The AP also quotes Vučić as saying that in the coming days and weeks, he will reveal in detail how much money “has been paid in recent years to destroy Serbia” and “to turn it into a vassal state that would not make its own decisions or choose its own future, but must listen to and serve someone else.”

AP recalls that the Balkan country is officially seeking EU membership while maintaining very close ties with Russia and China, and that Vucic, who claims "political neutrality for Serbia," has repeatedly promised that he will never join Western sanctions against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.

The agency reports that in a move that could further distance Serbia from its stated ambitions for EU membership, a draft law has been announced in the Serbian Parliament that would create a registry of so-called foreign mercenaries, similar to the restrictive law passed in Russia.
