The government, led by Prime Minister Đuro Macut, has successfully navigated a no-confidence vote, receiving the backing of the ruling coalition to continue its work, effectively putting snap parliamentary elections on hold. This development comes as new allegations surfaced, implicating the presidential cabinet of Aleksandar Vučić in the 'Nadstrešnica' (Canopy) corruption case. The country is simultaneously facing a severe environmental crisis, with the Danube River experiencing historically low water levels, leading to stranded boats and exposed sandbars. An orange meteoalarm has been issued as a 12-day heatwave begins, with temperatures expected to reach 40 degrees Celsius, exacerbating the risk of increasingly dangerous forest fires across the nation. Economically, a critical deadline looms for NIS's operational license by July 31st, while fuel prices remain the most expensive in the region, with a minister attributing the increase to water levels. In the political landscape, a new poll suggests the 'Student List' now holds more support than the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) list.
