Serbian security officials face calls for mass resignations

Multiple organizations and citizen groups in Serbia are demanding the immediate resignation of top police and security officials. The Institute for Corruption Research Kareja, composed of former police officers, has called for the resignation of Police Director Dragan Vasiljević and other compromised personnel, stating that the police force has been undermined and turned into a regime tool.

In Valjevo, students and citizens have issued a 24-hour ultimatum for the dismissal of five local police leaders, including Chief Vladimir Jerinić. Protesters claim the local police leadership is attempting to provoke incidents to avoid accountability.

The Network of Integrity of the Belgrade Center for Security Policy (BCBP) has also called for a broad restructuring, naming several high-ranking individuals for resignation, including the director of the Security Intelligence Agency (BIA), Vladimir Orlić, and various commanders of special units. These groups argue that the current leadership has contributed to human rights violations and the political misuse of security institutions.
