Commander Mikovic: TC Enjub fire under control, only one eighth of the building affected
(Komandant Miković: Požar u TC Enjub pod kontrolom, sprečili smo da se proširi - samo osmina objekta zahvaćena)
N1 reports commander Dragan Mikovic's statement: the fire call came at 5:56, the first crews arrived within four minutes, and 45 firefighters with 14 vehicles were deployed. He said the blaze had already reached the roof, but crews stopped it from spreading through the entire building: around 60-70 of roughly 400 shops were affected. No civilians were injured; two firefighters had minor scratches and were sent for medical checks, while specialized MUP teams are to determine the cause after the firefighting work ends.

Major fire in New Belgrade: Enjub shopping center burns
(VELIKI POŽAR NA NOVOM BEOGRADU: Gori tržni centar „Enjub“ - brojni vatrogasci se bore sa vatrenom stihijom (FOTO/VIDEO))
Novosti reported at 7:41 that the TC Enjub fire broke out shortly after 6:00 and that a large number of firefighters went to the scene. The early article recorded that crews were trying to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings and that thick black smoke was visible from many parts of Belgrade; later, the same section flagged a separate update that the fire had spread to another part of the roof structure.
Read sourceIn its June 15 morning politics block, Danas writes that one possible scenario for Aleksandar Vucic is to resign in two or three months, call a presidential election, calmly lose it to a candidate proposed by students and adopted by the protesting part of society, then move into the prime minister's office, reconstruct the government, and remain in power until early 2028 and the end of EXPO.

Possible scenarios for Vucic staying in power until 2028: let the presidential race go and move to parliamentary politics?
(Mogući scenariji o opstanku Vučića na vlasti sve do 2028. godine: Pušta predsedničke, ide na parlamentarne?)
Danas presents this as a political scenario, not as a confirmed decision: in the outlet's assessment, Vucic knows that any presidential candidate he puts forward would not be strong enough against a candidate proposed by students and adopted by the protesting part of society. Danas therefore says the most likely model is his real resignation from the presidency in two or three months, the calling of elections, a calm defeat in the presidential race, a move into the prime minister's post, a government reconstruction, and remaining in power until early 2028, meaning until the end of EXPO. The article continues the open political storyline around a possible resignation and a later redistribution of power.

Resigns on Vidovdan and becomes prime minister: possible scenarios for Vucic staying in power until 2028
("Daje ostavku na Vidovdan i postaje premijer": Mogući scenariji o opstanku Vučića na vlasti sve do 2028. godine)
N1 published the Danas article with additional details of the scenario: lawyer Sinisa Nikolic describes a version in which Vucic leaves at a large staged Vidovdan rally, Ana Brnabic becomes acting president, the prime minister resigns, and parliament elects a new government with Vucic as prime minister. In the same version, Brnabic calls presidential elections for September 27, 2026, while Dejan Bursac of the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory says SNS has no favorable election plan and has avoided an early parliamentary vote for more than a year. Bursac links this to sustained social mobilization and a Belgrade protest that he estimates gathered 200,000 people.

(Vlada Srbije donela novu odluku u vezi sa akcizama na gorivo)
Danas reports that the government has again extended the decision temporarily reducing excise duties on petroleum products, this time through June 21.
