Serbia’s prime minister resigns as anti-corruption protests grow

Serbia’s populist prime minister, Milos Vucevic, has said he is stepping down following weeks of massive anti-corruption protests over the deadly collapse of a concrete canopy at a railway station last November.
The collapse in the northern city of Novi Sad, which killed 15 people, has become a flashpoint reflecting wider discontent with the increasingly autocratic rule of Serbia’s populist president, Aleksandar Vucic.
