In Serbia, protests have been ongoing for several days, with opposition groups and students demanding justice following a tragic incident in Novi Sad, where a railway station tent collapsed, killing 15 people. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has been at the center of attention for his controversial statements, including his claim of having appeared before a crowd of students gathered at the “Andrić Crown” monument. He proudly declared that the students fell silent when he spoke.
However, a video circulating on social media has sparked discussions. The footage shows a brief glimpse of Vučić from behind a curtain in what appears to be the presidential office, a stark contrast to his claims. The scene captures someone peeking out from behind the darkened window, leaving many questioning the truth behind Vučić’s narrative.
Social media users quickly started making jokes, with one comment jokingly saying, “The little one really did appear, but behind the curtain: what did he do, get embarrassed?” This comment references the chants of “Come out, little one” that students sang during his previous appearances. Another user sarcastically referred to him as “a hero from the darkness.”
In response to the video, some commentators suggested that Vučić’s speed was so impressive he managed to do everything in a fraction of a second. Meanwhile, others pointed to the ongoing student pressure as a sign of the growing demand for change in Serbia, calling it the “recipe” to remove a government mired in corruption and the key to a better future.
As protests continue to intensify, questions about the authenticity of Vučić’s claims and his handling of the situation remain at the forefront of public debate.
