Novi Sad, November 1 2024 (BETAPHOTO/DRAGAN GOJIC)

He said that Vesic’s resignation was a step in the right direction, but that the greatest accountability lied on Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic.
“We are not talking about personal accountability, we have to change the system, and this is a system where corruption is entrenched and systemic,” Novakovic said, adding that neither Novi Sad nor Serbia would be placated before the prime minister stepped down.
