Detentions, Resignations, Probes Shake Serbia After Students Toppled Strongman Vucic in Election
Authorities detained senior police figures and a bank owner as regulators revoked Alta Bank’s license and public broadcasters reshuffled leadership.
- On Monday, authorities detained Criminal Police Directorate head Marko Kricak and Alta Bank owner Davor Macura, targeting figures linked to the ousted Serbian Progressive Party following the parliamentary election.
- Former leader Aleksandar Vucic lost power after the Student List won the October 25 parliamentary election, triggering the rapid collapse of the political system he built over more than a decade.
- Prosecutors allege Macura attempted to siphon millions of dollars before his Alta Bank license was revoked on October 30. Kricak faces abuse-of-office charges connected to a high-profile murder investigation.
- State media outlet Radio Television of Serbia overhauled leadership and apologized to viewers for past bias. Employees across theaters and schools are demanding removal of managers appointed by the previous administration.
- Despite his defeat, Vucic remains defiant, accusing the student-led movement of 'revolutionary terror' in media appearances. The public awaits outcomes of investigations into longstanding corruption cases after the movement promised accountability.
