The streets of Belgrade turned into a battlefield last night, and at the center of the storm was Petar Đurić from the Ćale Tebe movement. According to Kurir, Đurić was arrested for violent behavior during protests after allegedly attacking two police officers from the police brigade. The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade ordered a 48-hour detention for him. This was not the only incident – a total of 11 people were detained, and six police officers were injured in clashes with blockers who rampaged through the city streets.
The details of the clashes were captured and broadcast live by Kurir’s team, while on social media, a post by Šahrimanjan Obradović featuring Vučić’s chessboard appeared, supposedly showing that the government is thinking two moves ahead of everyone else. Analysts warn that Serbia’s enemies are trying to turn people against each other, while extremists are planning serious chaos in downtown Belgrade. Vidovdan, a traditional Serbian holiday, was marked this year by calls for chaos and violence, further alarming the public.
Despite all this, the authorities and police claim they are ready to confront violence and will not allow protests to spiral into chaos. However, the situation on the streets remains tense, and citizens wonder how long this wave of violence and clashes will last. Is this the start of a new phase of unrest or just another incident in a series? One thing is clear – Belgrade hasn’t seen scenes like this in a long time, and the question remains who will come out on top in this street battle.
If you have your own take on all this, feel free to share it – maybe your perspective will shed new light on this chaos!
