Anti Trump protests in Serbia; EU turns Belgrade against Putin?
Share on FacebookShare on X

Serbia stands at a political crossroads, engulfed in protests, suspicions of foreign interference, and a leadership embroiled in controversies that go beyond its borders. The unrest gripping Belgrade is not just another episode of public discontent; it is an explosive culmination of nationalist grievances, corruption scandals, and a geopolitical tug-of-war between Western powers and Serbia’s long-standing allies. President Aleksandar Vučić, under mounting pressure, continues to dismiss the growing dissent as a Western-backed plot aimed at destabilising his government. However, a closer look reveals a far more intricate power play, one that weaves in American politics, NATO’s legacy, and Serbia’s uneasy place in the global order.

At the heart of the latest uproar is a controversial redevelopment project set to transform the remains of the Yugoslav army’s General Staff building, a site heavily bombed by NATO during its 1999 intervention. The plan, spearheaded by Affinity Global Partners, the firm founded by Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, envisions a Trump-branded hotel, luxury apartments, and a memorial. The project has triggered fierce backlash, not only for its perceived erasure of history but also for what critics see as Serbia’s capitulation to American business interests.

Modi vs NATO? India’s Role in Zapad-2025 Sparks Western Outrage but Reality Tells a Different Story

NATO has made Russia invincible, Ukraine war has helped Putin perfect his military exposing western weaknesses

Protesters, furious at what they consider the desecration of a national symbol, have taken to the streets in large numbers, particularly on Serbia’s Remembrance Day. Their anger transcends urban planning concerns—it’s a rejection of Western influence and a statement of defiance against a government that they see as complicit in rewriting the country’s past to accommodate foreign investors. Chants of “F**k NATO and Trump Tower” have echoed through Belgrade, illustrating a sentiment that is as much anti-American as it is anti-government.

The demonstration has also tapped into broader frustrations linked to an ongoing student-led anti-corruption movement. The movement, sparked by the tragic collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad last November, has exposed deep-seated government negligence and systemic corruption. The incident, which claimed 16 lives, has since become a rallying point for opposition groups, adding momentum to what authorities now label as an attempted “colour revolution.”

Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin has taken the narrative even further, claiming that Western security agencies are actively working to overthrow Vučić’s administration, much like the 2014 Maidan uprising in Ukraine. In a striking statement made during a meeting in Moscow, Vulin accused foreign intelligence networks of plotting Serbia’s downfall, arguing that the West seeks to “destroy Serbia” for refusing to align with NATO policies, particularly regarding sanctions on Russia.

It is no secret that Serbia’s refusal to impose sanctions on Moscow has made it a pariah in Western diplomatic circles. Unlike its neighbours, Belgrade has maintained its close ties with the Kremlin, positioning itself as a rare European ally to Vladimir Putin. This stance, along with Vučić’s continued defiance against what he sees as Western bullying, has only fuelled conspiracy theories about coordinated efforts to remove him from power.

But there’s another layer to the unfolding drama—one that involves Donald Trump. Vučić has long maintained warm relations with the former U.S. president, and their political alliance is often cited as a counterbalance to the Biden administration’s harsher stance on Serbia. Trump, unlike his Democratic counterpart, did not push for sanctions against Belgrade, nor did he lean heavily on Serbia to normalise ties with Kosovo. Instead, his administration facilitated an economic normalisation agreement between Serbia and Kosovo in 2020, without forcing Vučić into political concessions.

Trump’s re-emergence as a dominant figure in U.S. politics has unsettled the so-called deep state, which sees Vučić’s regime as an extension of the Trumpian worldview—one that favours sovereignty over supranational dictates. With Kushner’s involvement in Belgrade’s redevelopment project and Trump’s legacy looming over Serbia’s policies, many believe that the protests are not just about history or corruption, but about a larger battle to undercut an alliance that challenges the Western order.

The situation in Serbia is anything but simple. It is a volatile blend of nationalist resurgence, historical grievances, corruption scandals, and global power struggles. The protests are not merely about a real estate deal; they reflect a nation grappling with its identity, its place in the world, and its leadership’s entanglements with foreign actors. As Vučić tightens his grip on power, Serbia finds itself at a precarious juncture—one that could define its political trajectory for years to come.
