Serbia arrests suspects in alleged coup plot
Members of Serbia’s Interior Ministry, acting in cooperation with the Security and Intelligence Agency, have detained two men in Kraljevo on suspicion of preparing an attack on the country’s constitutional order.
Police arrested a 50-year-old and a 42-year-old, both from Kraljevo. Investigators allege that between December last year and February 2026 they were planning a violent change to the constitutional order and the overthrow of the highest state authorities.
According to the investigation, the suspects were organising the procurement of weapons and preparing an attack on the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, as well as his wife and children, with the aim of killing them. The alleged plans also included an attack on members of the Interior Ministry, whom they intended to injure.
