Belgrade witnessed a real-life horror show last night, but sadly, no script or happy ending in sight. On Vidovdan, a day meant to celebrate Serbian history and unity, violent blockade protests erupted into full-blown street battles with police. Six officers were injured, and dozens of attackers were arrested. It all started at Slavija Square, where one speaker literally gave the green light for violence, urging supporters to “take freedom into their own hands.” What happened next? Police were attacked with clubs, bottles, and stones, while protesters pushed containers right at them! On the streets of Kneza Miloša, Londonska, Takovska, and King Alexander Boulevard, the chaos escalated so much that cannon fire was heard, forcing police to intervene and push back the rioters. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 48 police officers and 22 civilians were injured, 77 people were detained, and 38 held in custody. Police Director General Dragan Vasiljević strongly condemned the attacks, promising to protect public order and the safety of all citizens. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić declared after the protests that “in the end, Serbia always wins” and announced he would address the public. This chaos isn’t just a street fight; it’s a serious test for the state and its institutions. While some call for peace and education, others choose violence and mayhem. So, what do you think? Is this the start of something bigger or just another episode in an endless protest saga? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for peace and who’s for chaos!
