Belgrade is on fire with protests! Students and citizens refuse to back down despite brutal police crackdowns that left several injured, including students with serious injuries. Last night, a large crowd gathered in front of the Faculty of Law in Belgrade – from bikers and veterans to lawyers ready to offer free legal aid to anyone detained or in need of legal help. This is not just a protest; this is a war for justice!
Blockades of intersections across Belgrade and other Serbian cities have been ongoing for five days, with police showing no mercy – dozens arrested, and the number of injured rising daily. While students and citizens set up barricades and peacefully express their dissent, the government and police respond with brutality and repression. President Vučić calls for the removal of blockades, but students stand firm, and police threaten criminal charges.
Lawyer Nikola Lakić openly accuses the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade of being under direct regime control and serving as a tool to crack down on political dissenters. He points out that police brutality against innocent citizens is a sign of regime weakness, not strength. Students have suffered serious injuries, and the judiciary remains silent or even greenlights police repression.
German media are watching closely, describing the situation as the “exasperation of a powerless police” and the “shaking of Vučić’s autocracy.” Students have escalated to civil disobedience, blocking traffic and paralyzing cities, while police attempts to stop them fail. Opposition parties and NGOs condemn police brutality and call for urgent crisis resolution.
All this unfolds amid other social activities in Belgrade, but the spotlight remains on the fight for freedom of expression and against police repression. If you think this is just another protest, think again – this is a battle for Serbia’s future. So, what do you think? Has the police gone too far, or are the students provoking too much? Drop a comment and let the people’s voice be heard!
