Protesters enter Serbian pro-Vucic TV station, call for arrest of editor
Dozens of protesters interrupted Informer’s broadcast, accusing the pro-government outlet of smear campaigns after students won 53% of the vote, officials said.
- On Monday, October 26, 2026, dozens of protesters stormed the offices of the pro-government tabloid Informer, interrupting a live broadcast less than 24 hours after Aleksandar Vucic conceded defeat in snap parliamentary elections.
- The student-led Students' List secured 53 percent of the vote against the former ruling party's 39 percent, prompting Vucic to concede defeat less than two hours after polls closed on Sunday.
- Informer recorded 1,456 ethical violations in late 2025 and maintains the lowest public trust of any brand surveyed at 19 percent, according to a June 2026 Reuters Institute report by Snjezana Milivojevic, a retired professor at the University of Belgrade.
- Protesters interrupted the broadcast, demanding editor-in-chief Dragan Vucicevic "apologise sincerely to his free Serbian people." Critics describe Informer as "a political newsletter disguised as a media outlet" that persecutes dissenters.
- This mobilization represents Serbia's largest student-led protest since the 2000 uprising against Slobodan Milosevic, marking a generational shift following years of systemic pressure on press freedom and over 1,636 arrests reported between June and September 2025.
