Vucic in a sentence

Serbs demand end to rule of President Aleksandar Vucic (Today) - Opponents of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic are rallying in Belgrade to demand his ouster.

An opposition victory in the capital would seriously dent Vucic's hard-line rule in the country, analysts say.

As he arrived at the summit at a castle in the Moldovan countryside, Mr Vucic was less forceful than Ms Osmani in his rhetoric.

Can Vucic ignore Belgrade’s obligations in the implementation produced in Ohrid, North Macedonia, as well as the rest of the negotiated in Brussels on Feb. 27, which the Serbian president also refused to sign?

Faced with public pressure, the increasingly autocratic Vucic has scheduled a rally of his own for next week while suggesting that the entire government could resign and a snap vote be called for September.

Fed up with Vucic’s populist rule, tens of thousands on Monday marched through Belgrade and other Serbian cities in silence to commemorate the victims of the mass killings.

However, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has condemned the recruitment drive.

In recent months, Vucic has faced a new challenge to his authority.

Mr Vucic called the early vote only a year-and-a half after a previous parliamentary and presidential election, although his party holds a comfortable majority in parliament.

On Tuesday, Kosovo's Kurti said he was optimistic about hammering out a deal but put the onus of signing the agreement with Vucic.

Quint ambassadors are to meet Mr Vucic, and he is also meeting Russian and Chinese ambassadors to show he has support for his policies.

The head of state took part in the opening ceremony of the Serbia-Bulgaria gas interconnector in the city of Nis, and also held meetings with the presidents of Bulgaria and Serbia Rumen Radev and Aleksandar Vucic.

Two mass shootings in May, resulting in 18 deaths, including nine elementary school students, triggered street protests that shook Vucic and the SNS's decade-long grip on power in the Western Balkan republic.

Vucic called the shootings an attack on the whole nation — and said the person arrested wore a T-shirt bearing a pro-Nazi slogan although he did not shed light on a motive.

Vucic has accused opposition leaders behind the rallies of exploiting the shooting tragedies to target him.

At the same time, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that Kosovo police officers killed three Serbs and seriously wounded two.

Had Vucic finally been confronted with the need to give up his charade, Belgrade may have voluntarily spread Serbian military munitions to the Ukrainian battlefield without spreading Russian political ammunition throughout the region.
