Serbia's Political Turmoil: Vucic Appeals for Dialogue Amid Heightened Tensions

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic has made an appeal for dialogue with protesters following sustained anti-government demonstrations and recent riots.

In a televised address, Vucic expressed his readiness to engage with protest representatives, including participating in TV debates. The protests, originally sparked by a tragic incident in Novi Sad, have continued to pressure Vucic's administration.

The demonstrations, alleging corruption and demanding early elections, have become increasingly tense, with clashes resulting in injuries. Opposition figures remain skeptical of Vucic's call for talks, citing government violence and undemocratic practices.
