Serbia’s Prime Minister Miloš Vučević announced his resignation yesterday in the hope this might calm political tensions and encourage a “return to dialogue.” This occurs against the backdrop of intensifying nationwide protests, initially sparked by the collapse of a concrete overhang at the central Novi Sad train station last November that killed 15 people, but increasingly taking the form of a color revolution targeting President Aleksandar Vučić for “corruption” and lack of “government transparency.” Vučević said that a recent attack on a student by unidentified men with baseball bats, which protesters blamed on Vučić's Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), was a factor in his resignation. In a press conference he announced that the mayor of Novi Sad would also be resigning.
