Summary
Serbia faces a political crisis as President Vučić travels to Beijing to secure a $1.1 billion Chinese investment deal in AI, robotics, and electric vehicles, while tens of thousands of protesters (estimated 34,300) fill Belgrade demanding early elections and accountability for the Novi Sad railway station collapse that killed 16 people. The article highlights the contrast between Vučić's pursuit of Chinese investment and the domestic unrest, noting that Brussels has yet to develop a coherent response to either development.
