University students in Serbia are leading mass demonstrations against corruption under President Aleksandar Vucic, proposing measures to ban corrupt officials from politics and investigate their wealth. Thousands rallied in Novi Sad, chanting against rampant corruption, with protests planned in Belgrade.

Vucic, accused of curbing freedoms and fostering corruption, has resisted calls for early elections, facing backlash and accusations from the student-led movement.
