Aleksandar Vucic

Aleksandar Vucic is the current President of Serbia. He is described as a right-wing nationalist. He is newsworthy due to ongoing anti-government protests that have persisted for over a year, led primarily by university students. These protests are fueled by allegations of endemic corruption during his tenure. Recent rallies have drawn thousands of participants, with students proposing measures such as banning corrupt officials from politics and investigating their wealth. Furthermore, plans for a Trump International Hotel in Belgrade, intended to replace a bomb-damaged landmark, have unraveled. Vucic's continued grip on power amidst these challenges and the scrutiny surrounding corruption allegations make him a significant figure in Serbian politics and the Balkans region.
