Why are tensions running high in Serbia ahead of a major student-led rally?

Hindustan Times  

BELGRADE, Serbia — As tensions in Serbia soar, students and other opponents of the populist president are gearing up for a major rally in the capital, Belgrade, over the weekend. Why are tensions running high in Serbia ahead of a major student-led rally? Some believe that the demonstration on Saturday could mark the “D-Day” and endgame that have shaken the firm grip on power of authoritarian Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. Similar student-led rallies already have been held in Novi Sad, the central city of Kragujevac and Nis, in the country’s south, drawing tens of thousands of people and lasting for a day or longer. The citizens of Belgrade, a city of some two million people, also are likely to swarm the streets in huge numbers as support for the student-led protests has persisted despite Vucic’s campaign against them.
