Vučić and the Student Blockades: Street Drama in Serbia!
Are you ready for another round of chaos on the streets of Serbia? President Aleksandar Vučić doesn’t hold back when talking about the student blockades shaking Belgrade and other cities. According to him, these protests are nothing but a show for social media, and the blockades are just a way to “take photos” and cause trouble.
Trash, Containers, and Mocking Workers
Vučić especially highlighted the incident in Novi Sad where demonstrators threw containers and scattered trash on the streets. When hardworking workers came to clean up the mess, instead of gratitude, they were met with mockery and ridicule. Dejan Sakić and Kristijan Knežević, workers of the municipal company, became symbols of effort and honesty amid this chaos. Vučić asks: who is really the winner here?
Blockades of Highways and Bridges? No Way!
The president clearly stated that highway blockades will not succeed, just as they failed to block bridges and refineries. Incidents in southern Serbia, where demonstrators clashed, further show how tense the situation is. Vučić calls for peace and understanding but does not hide his disappointment in those who, as he says, do not love their country.
Protests Across Serbia: Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Valjevo…
Protests have spread to multiple cities, with blockades of intersections and streets. Public transport in Belgrade is operating but with interruptions in some areas. Police intervened at several locations, and several people were arrested, including councilor Mihailo Maletić. Students were detained and fined, but protests continue.
Declining Interest in Blockades
State Secretary Livija Pavićević says public interest in blockades is waning because people do not want violence. She believes the blockades lost public support as people saw the true nature of the protests.
Vučić’s Irony: ‘Thanks for Building the Highway, Now I’ll Block It!’
Vučić ironically commented on how demonstrators thank him on banners for building the highway, then block it. He says this is his happiest moment because it shows how contradictory the protests are.
Conclusion: Who is the Real Loser?
While streets fill with containers and trash, and workers clean up and endure mockery, Serbia wonders — who is the real loser? The protesting students or ordinary citizens who want peace and order? Vučić clearly says those who block do not understand the country and do not love it.
If you thought protests were just a normal thing, think again. This street drama in Serbia is far from over, and the question is who will come out on top. What do you think? Are the blockades justified or just senseless chaos? Drop a comment, let the voice of the people be heard!
