Aleksandar Vucic has previously refused the anticipated elections. His coalition, led by the progressive party, owns 156 of the 250 parliamentary mandates.
On Saturday, the head of the Serbian state said that behind the protest are “foreign powers”. He said the police should have a detained attitude, but that violence will not be tolerated.
“The country will be defended, and the Golan will face justice,” he told reporters in Belgrade.
Sladjana Lojanovic (37 years old), a SID farmer, a city in northern Serbia, said he came to support the students.
“The institutions have been used and (…) There is a lot of corruption. The choices are the solution, but I don't think (Vucic) will want to leave peacefully,” she told Reuters.

In the pre-protest days, the police detained around a dozen anti-government activists, accusing them of undermining the Constitution and terrorism. Everyone concerned denied the accusations.
The protests of the students, opposition, teachers, workers and farmers started last year, after the roof of the Novi Sad station collapsed, an incident resulting in 16 people. The protesters blame corruption for disaster.
Saturday's demonstration in Belgrade coincided with Saint Vitus's Day, which marks the battle in Kosovo with the Ottoman Turks in 1389.
