A major push for accountability is underway within the judiciary, as the Belgrade Bar Association has demanded the immediate resignations of four top officials: Vladan Petrov, President of the Constitutional Court; Zagorka Dolovac, Supreme Public Prosecutor; Nenad Stefanović, Chief Public Prosecutor of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade; and Dragan Milošević, President of the High Court in Belgrade. The Bar Association cites severe human rights violations, abuse of official authority to protect the ruling regime's interests, and damage to the judiciary's reputation. Furthering the focus on accountability, the former head of the Communal Police has been arrested following testimony related to the controversial Savamala demolitions, facing charges of revealing secret data. This comes as the Student List, having won the recent parliamentary elections, begins the process of forming a new government, signaling a shift in the country's political landscape. The change in government has also prompted significant shifts in the media sector, with Željko Mitrović, CEO of Pink Media Group, announcing a major reduction of his media empire due to its dependence on state funding. Additionally, the state broadcaster RTS has replaced eight editors of its main news program, Dnevnik 2, and the new team has issued an apology to viewers for previous reporting standards.
