Serbia’s populist prime minister, Miloš Vučević, has resigned in an attempt to calm political tensions after months of anti-corruption protests.
The protests began in November, after the outdoor roof of a train station in the northern city of Novi Sad collapsed, killing 15 people. The disaster soon became a flashpoint as people across the country seized on it to express their broader dissatisfaction with Serbia’s increasingly authoritarian rule and demand greater government transparency.
