Traffic Chaos in Belgrade: Students Block the City, Government Fights Back!
This morning, Belgrade looked like a scene from an apocalyptic movie – streets were passable, but only briefly! The main street in Zemun, blocked for several days, was finally cleared, but the drama is far from over. Groups of students have turned the city into their playground, blocking faculties, intersections, and main roads in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Užice, and other Serbian cities.
Evening blockades were a nightmare for drivers: Požeška Street, intersections of Ustanička and Vojislav Ilić, and New Belgrade streets were closed to traffic. Even intersections near Palilula market and in front of Čukarica municipality were under siege. Municipal workers struggled to remove barricades, but students are relentless – blockades have been ongoing since June 29, triggered by the arrest of students suspected of planning violent changes to the constitutional order and supporting detainees after the June 28 protests.
This is not just a local problem – it’s a political earthquake! Are the students heroes fighting for justice or just chaotic rebels suffocating the city? While the government claims control, citizens wonder how long they can endure these blockades and if Belgrade will ever be a normal city for living and working again.
If you thought this was the end, think again! This saga continues, and the question is who will come out on top – the students or the state? Meanwhile, traffic chaos still rules the streets, and citizens’ patience is running thin. What do you think – are the students right, or is it time to free the city from blockades once and for all? Drop a comment, maybe your word will spark a revolution or at least a good laugh!
