Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić unexpectedly announced his resignation after about a year and a half of protests led mainly by young people and students. In parallel, protests against the government continue in Albania...
A day earlier, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced that he would stay in office for a few more weeks and then step down. It is not known whether Vučić's announcement is a withdrawal from politics, or a rotation, as has happened before, when he has appeared once as Prime Minister and once as President.
Meanwhile, in Albania, a civic revolt against Prime Minister Edi Rama has been underway for 1 month, demanding his resignation, while he has declared that he has no intention of handing over the "wheel" that over 800,000 Albanians entrusted to him in the May 2025 parliamentary elections.
Italian television RAI3 has made a comparison between the protests in Serbia that are leading to the resignation of Aleksandar Vučić and the demonstrations in Albania that are demanding the removal of Prime Minister Rama.
Journalist Flavia Paone has raised the question: can citizen protests against corruption or the misuse of public funds succeed?
According to Italian media, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has unexpectedly announced his resignation, ending a long period of political pressure accompanied by about a year and a half of street protests. The demonstrations were organized mainly by young people and students, who have raised allegations of corruption and demanded political change in the country.
According to Rai 3, the desire for change being expressed by the younger generation in Serbia is also echoed in Albania.
For about a month, thousands of citizens have been protesting against the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama and against the project to build a luxury resort, which, according to reported claims, is intended to be developed by the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump on an island where pink flamingos live.
These developments have brought back into focus the impact that civic protests can have on political processes and institutional decision-making in Serbia and Albania.
" Given what is happening in Serbia, we must answer "yes", but if we talk about Albania, the political future there is unclear. The accusations are more or less the same, but Rama has no intention of resigning. We are on the 29th day of protests, but even young Albanians seem to have no intention of abandoning the squares ", says the Italian journalist.
