The Prime Minister of Serbia, Miloš Vučević, is planning to resign amid large-scale protests sweeping the country.
This information was reported by N1, according to "European Truth".
At 11:00 AM local time, Vučević has scheduled an extraordinary press conference at the Serbian government.
The head of the parliamentary faction of the Serbian Progressive Party, Milenko Jovanov, indirectly confirmed that Vučević will step down.
Jovanov told journalists in parliament that the resignation decision should be announced by Vučević himself.
On January 27, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called for "the most urgent and extensive reconstruction of the government".
Students from several state universities in Serbia have been blocking classes and organizing protests in recent weeks following the collapse of a concrete canopy at the railway station in Novi Sad, which claimed the lives of 15 people.
They demand the publication of all documents related to the station's reconstruction, criminal prosecution of officials responsible for the disaster, and the release of detained protesters.
Amid the protests, Vučić previously reached out to the opposition, asking them to call for a so-called advisory referendum to determine the level of support he has among the citizens.
He also expressed his readiness to sign a decision to pardon participants in the recent protests against his rule.
