Reuters. Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic announced his resignation on Tuesday (January 28) becoming the highest ranking official to leave since anti-corruption protests spread across the country.
Belgrade has seen daily anti-government protests since a roof collapsed in November at a railway station in Novi Sad, Serbia's second-largest city, killing 15 people.
Protesters including students, teachers and other workers have turned out in their thousands, blaming the disaster on corruption within the government of President Aleksandar Vucic. The government denies blame for the deaths.
Vucevic told a press conference he and the mayor of Novi Sad would resign, meeting the demands of "some of the most extreme protesters".
