Civil society organizations, student groups, and political figures in Serbia have launched coordinated calls for the resignation of high ranking security and state officials. Initial demands focused on the police and intelligence services. The Institute for Corruption Research Kareja called for the dismissal of Police Director Dragan Vasiljević, alleging the police force has been turned into a “regime tool.”

In Valjevo, intense public and student pressure regarding allegations of excessive force used by police last August has led to the resignation of Police Chief Vlada Jerinić. Reports indicate officers allegedly used batons and kicks against approximately 35 to 40 individuals, including minors. Lawyer Jana Aćimović Planojević, representing victims, stated that Jerinić’s resignation is insufficient and has called for his detention. The case is under the jurisdiction of the Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime.

Political pressure has expanded to the Security Intelligence Agency (BIA). The Belgrade Center for Security Policy (BCBP) demanded the resignation of BIA director Vladimir Orlić, citing human rights violations. Party leader Miloš Parandilović accused Orlić of using agency resources to harass citizens and called for the opening of secret archives to investigate potential links between security structures and organized crime. Aleksandar Olenik of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV) has proposed the total dissolution of the BIA, comparing the agency to the Soviet NKVD and advocating for a reform model similar to post-reunification Germany.

Parallel demands were also issued by military retiree unions against Relja Ognjenović, director of the Republic Fund for Pension and Disability Insurance, regarding allegations of political pressure and non transparent spending.
