Serbia's Unrest: Kremlin Weighs in on Potential 'Colour Revolution'

The Kremlin has voiced concerns over ongoing anti-government protests in Serbia, suggesting they could be part of a 'colour revolution' plot. The political unrest in Serbia, a known Russian ally, has drawn significant attention from Moscow, with officials pledging confidence in Serbia's ability to quell the disturbances.

On Saturday, Serbian law enforcement clashed with demonstrators calling for early elections, challenging the 12-year incumbency of President Aleksandar Vucic. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov hinted at strategic influence from external entities aiming to destabilize the region, although he expressed certainty in the Serbian president's capabilities to restore order swiftly.

President Vucic, under pressure amid these months-long protests which have included significant public sector disruptions, suspects shadowy 'foreign powers' of attempting to undermine his administration. The protests pose a significant challenge with Vucic's term and parliamentary elections concluding in 2027.
