Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic resigned on Tuesday, following a wave of protests that swept across the country.

Vucevic became the highest-ranking official to vacate his post amid anti-government demonstrations in the wake of a railway station roof collapsing in the city of Novi Sad that killed 15 people last November.
