04-Feb-2025
Serbia is at a crossroads. What started as grief over the Novi Sad tragedy has become a full-scale protest movement, forcing Prime Minister's Vučević's resignation and even earning students a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. But with no clear leader, how is pro-government media responding? Is this the start of real change, or will the movement be silenced?
Ilva Tare, a Resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center, is joined in this episode of #BalkansDebrief by Igor Božić, News Director at TV N1, and Marko Prelević, editor of Nedeljnik, one of Serbia's most influential weekly news magazines.
Who is the driving force behind these massive protests? How is the government-controlled press handling the massive protests? What comes next after the Prime Minister's resignation? Will this moment define Serbia's future?
Tune in for an in-depth look at the movement shaking the Balkans.
