Have you seen what’s happening in Belgrade? On Vidovdan, the state showed that a minimum of repression is enough to control protests. Sociologist Vladimir Vuletic didn’t hold back: the state is ready, determined, and strong, and the police did their job professionally. But let’s be real — what does that even mean? Police used tear gas, knocked people to the ground, arrested students and citizens, and blockades spread to all key points in the city and across Serbia. Ivica Dacic called for peace, but it’s clear the situation is far from peaceful. Students and citizens blocked Gazela Bridge, Pančevački Most, Novi Sad, Zemun, Voždovac, and many other places. Police arrested at least six students, and one high school student was detained over social media posts. All this started as a protest to remember those who died in Novi Sad but turned into massive blockades and clashes with the state. Is this really control of the situation or just a mask for repression? While the government claims everything is under control, the streets are burning with discontent. If you think this is the end, think again — protests continue, and the state is gearing up for more. So, what do you think about all this? Is repression really the answer or just a ticket to even bigger chaos? Drop a comment, let the people’s voice be heard!
