Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic is going to resign after the anti-corruption movement intensified. After the collapse of the roof of the train station in Novi Sad last November, anti-corruption protests have intensified across the country. 15 people were killed in the incident that took place in Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia.

Students, teachers and workers are involved in the anti-corruption movement. At the press conference, Prime Minister Vušević said that he hoped that his resignation would reduce the tension in Serbia. "I ask everyone to calm down and participate in the negotiations," said Vucevic, who has an image as a populist prime minister.

With the resignation of Vucevic, parliamentary elections are expected to be held in Serbia. He became the Prime Minister only in May last year. In Serbia, the populist President Aleksandar Vucic's 'dictatorial regime' has led to increased corruption, and Serbians are dissatisfied.
