How Vuçiç’s system is being dismantled: Arrests, resignations and attempts to destroy evidence of crimes

News has been coming so quickly since former Serbian authoritarian leader Aleksandar Vuçiç’s election defeat on October 25 that an anonymous website called “The Collapse of the System” has been created, where artificial intelligence updates information in real time. From high school students accusing their principal of shredding records to the closure of a bank that local media link to Vuçiç’s Serbian Progressive Party, the public has been gripped by the rapid developments of the first week after the election. Many in Serbia see the somewhat chaotic reports as a sign that the system of power Vuçiç carefully built is rapidly collapsing after the student movement’s stunning victory in the early parliamentary election.
