Protests against the government of the populist President Alexander Person have been happening daily since the fall of the Novi Sad train station in November, killing 15 people. Vucevic is a close aide of the President.

What did Wusvik say?
Addressing a press conference in Belgrade, the Prime Minister accepted the resignation as a “irreversible decision”.
He said, “I held a long meeting with the President of Serbia this morning. We talked about it. We talked about everything, and he accepted my arguments.” “So to avoid further complex things, so we do not increase further tension in society, I decided this.”
Vucevic is in the office for less than a year. Hey first served as Novi Sad Mayor from 2012 to 2022. He had his tenure with time renovation at the train station now collapsed in the city.
