Užice Means Business! Seven blockaders arrested for attacking police officers while trying to block a main road have been slapped with 30-day detention orders. Among them are Marko Krejović and Branko Jovanović, arrested on July 8, along with five others held on similar charges. Lawyers have announced a three-day strike, and dozens of blockaders are protesting outside the Užice courthouse demanding the release of the detainees. Police and judiciary are standing firm, calling it a serious crime — assault on an official during duty. This drama shines a harsh light on the rising tensions between authorities and citizens who choose roadblocks as their protest weapon. Is this the start of a serious crisis or just another clash in a long line of conflicts? As justice takes its course, Užice’s streets are burning with anger and discontent. What do you think? Are the blockades justified or has it gone too far? Drop a comment and let the conversation roll!
