Persistent student-led anti-government protests in Serbia, ongoing since the November 2024 Novi Sad train station collapse that killed 16 and sparked corruption allegations, continue to challenge President Aleksandar Vučić's administration into May 2026. Multiple prime ministerial resignations in 2025 failed to quell demands for snap parliamentary elections and accountability, while his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) secured strong wins in March 2026 local elections amid reports of violence and irregularities. On April 2, Vučić launched consultations with opposition parties to address the crisis, and late April signals suggested possible snap parliamentary polls in two to six months. His presidential term constitutionally extends to 2027, with no snap presidential election announced, though EU pressure on judicial reforms and Russia ties heightens political risks ahead of any vote.
