Brnabić asks EU to respond after FDU student video featuring Aleksandar Vučić

President Aleksandar Vučić appears prominently in a recent montage released by students from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts (FDU) in Belgrade, a video that prompted an immediate reaction from Assembly President Ana Brnabić.

The short film stitches together clips that Vučić previously posted on his Instagram account with footage and voice messages from citizens participating in protests across Serbia. Among the scenes are a moment in which Vučić gives flowers to women on March 8, followed by protest messages declaring that he "is not welcome" and that "the people do not want to see him."

Another sequence shows Vučić standing before robots performing a traditional dance, overlaid with a student's earlier statement that she would dance the oro on the day arrests of government representatives are broadcast. The montage later uses Vučić's line about taking "a small truck" to start a campaign, juxtaposed with clips and slogans from demonstrations — "Vučić undesirable," "nobody wants him" and "persona non grata."

Brnabić calls for European institutions to respond

Ana Brnabić described the ending of the video, which shows tiles being scrubbed and a bar of soap left on the floor, as "monstrous" and called it "a turning point in the campaign." She convened an extraordinary press conference after the video surfaced and addressed the European Parliament directly, asking European partners and political groups in the institution to react.

Brnabić linked the montage to the Student List and to the electoral campaign unfolding in Serbia. The video was also circulated on social media by an account identifying itself as FDU u blokadi; on September 19, 2026 the account posted: "Srbija ga nije htela."

The clip has intensified the public debate over student activism and political messaging ahead of upcoming elections, polarising supporters and critics of the government.
