Imagine this scene in Belgrade, Palilula: two men argue on a bus, step out at a stop, and one pulls out a knife! M. I. (24) was arrested on Sunday after stabbing P. S. (43) at a bus stop, right in front of shocked bystanders. Luckily, the injuries were minor, but the drama was huge. The First Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade is investigating.
This isn’t a movie scene; it’s real life in the capital. A bus argument that could have been just loud words turned into a weapon attack.

As Belgrade struggles with daily issues, citizens wonder – is safety on public transport just an illusion? Police and prosecutors are doing their job, but is it enough?
This incident is another wake-up call for all of us to question the state of society and street safety. What do you think? Is this an isolated case or a sign that things are going downhill? Share your thoughts, maybe together we’ll find a solution or at least a good joke for this grim story.
