The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Vučević hopes that his resignation will be enough to quell radical protests and avoid further foreign interference in Serbia. It's clear that the West, Croatia, and Albania are collaborating with the opposition in a push for a so-called color revolution to topple the government and destroy Serbia from within.
Pro-establishment narrative
It's certain that the resignation of Vučević was one of the initial demands of the protests months ago, but such a move is no longer likely to be enough to calm tensions and bring apolitical demonstrations to an end. Serbians aren't interested in politics, they simply want better institutions and less corruption.
