00:00Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vučić, has said the resignation of Prime Minister Miloš
00:05Vučević could lead either to an early parliamentary election or to the formation of a new government.
00:13Speaking at a news conference hours after Vučević resigned, Vučić rejected an opposition
00:18request for a transitional government, warning that Serbia's stability has been shaken.
00:23Serbia will maintain stability. Serbia will maintain peace. In the next ten days we will
00:30decide whether we will go to the elections or we will go to form a new government.
00:36Vučević resigned on Tuesday in an attempt to ease political tensions sparked by weeks
00:41of massive anti-corruption protests following the deadly collapse of a concrete overhang
00:47at a recently renovated train station.
00:51The tragedy has highlighted widespread dissatisfaction with Serbia's authoritarian rule and has led
00:57to growing public demands for greater government transparency.
