Serbia’s Streets on Fire: Jovanović Ćuta Won’t Stop Until Our Kids Are Free!
Serbia is burning with protests, and Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta, leader of the Ecological Uprising, isn’t backing down! His call for barricades and massive protests has echoed across the country. “We won’t stop until our kids are freed!” Ćuta declares, as blockades pop up everywhere: Gazela Bridge, Pančevački Bridge, Novi Sad, Zemun, Voždovac, and many more.
Chaos in the Streets: Students and Citizens Fight Back Against Repression
It all started after six students were arrested in Belgrade, sparking waves of anger and unrest. Students blocked faculties, and citizens joined in massive protests. Police responded with arrests and tear gas, but the situation didn’t calm down. Chief Prosecutor Nenad Stefanović announced prosecution of all who attacked police, while authorities say they won’t tolerate violence.
Dačić and Brnabić Strike Back: “Monitoring the Situation” and “Calls for Civil War”
Interior Minister Ivica Dačić said the situation is being monitored with multiple blockades ongoing. Prime Minister Ana Brnabić went further, accusing protesters of calls to kill Serbia and inciting civil war. Is this just rhetoric or a warning of harsher clashes ahead?
Protests Spread: Serbia in Blockade, Students Demand Early Elections
At Slavija Square in Belgrade, thousands gathered for the “Vidimo Vidovdan” protest. Students held a minute of silence for 16 victims of a collapsed canopy at the recently renovated Novi Sad railway station, the trigger for months-long faculty blockades and protests across Serbia. Their demands are clear: establish criminal and political responsibility for the tragedy, call early elections, and end repression.
Blockades as Weapons of Civil Disobedience
All key points in Belgrade and other cities are blocked: Autokomanda, Trošarina, Pančevački Bridge, Novi Sad, Smederevo… Citizens have erected containers and metal fences, creating barricades that give no peace to the authorities. This isn’t just a protest; it’s full-blown civil disobedience!
Who’s to Blame? The State or the People?
While authorities accuse demonstrators of violence and chaos, citizens and students claim they fight for justice and freedom. Arrests, tear gas, heavy-handed tactics — none can silence the voice of the people demanding answers and change.
Conclusion: Serbia on the Edge of Explosion
This isn’t just another protest. It’s a wake-up call, a fight for the future of children and youth. Jovanović Ćuta and the students won’t give up, and the government doesn’t know how to stop the wave of discontent. Will Serbia come out stronger or collapse into chaos? Only the skies know.
So, what about you? Are you for barricades or peace? Drop your thoughts — maybe your comment will spark another flame in this fire of protest!
