Turkish Students Cause Chaos in Belgrade Streets – and Praise Serbian Police?!
Did you know that students from Turkey, a country known for fierce clashes with police, are now causing blockades in Belgrade? Yes, you read that right! Efe, a student from the Technical University in Ankara, along with his friends, is participating in protests in Serbia and claims that Serbian police are – believe it or not – better than Turkish police!
Protests That Just Won’t Stop
These students joined blockades at intersections in several Serbian cities, including Belgrade, where they blocked Zeleni Venac. Efe says protests in Turkey lasted about a month and often involved clashes with police. However, in Serbia, according to him, the situation is different – the police are less violent, and the protests are better organized.
Similarities Between Protests in Turkey and Serbia
Although protests in the two countries differ, there are similarities. For example, demonstrators in Serbia chant slogans reminiscent of those in Turkey, like “Who doesn’t jump is a Tayyip supporter!” – a jab at supporters of Turkish President Erdogan. Efe points out that the organization of protests in Belgrade is much better than in the Czech Republic, where he previously participated, but where protests were less effective.
What Does This Mean for Serbia?
The arrival of foreign students at protests in Serbia and their praise of Serbian police sends a clear message: Serbia is currently a place where protests are conducted with less violence and better organization than in some other countries. But does this mean our protests are truly more successful, or is it just an illusion?
Police and Legal Framework
Meanwhile, the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade reminds that the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed, but violations of public order will be sanctioned. The police are ready to take all measures to protect property and citizen safety during protests.
Conclusion
Turkish students in Serbia are causing blockades, praising Serbian police, and comparing protests in two countries. Is Serbia really an oasis for protests or just the next step in the global fight for rights? One thing is clear – these protests will not go unnoticed.
So, what do you think? Are our protests really better organized, or is this just another chance for chaos? Drop a comment, maybe together we’ll figure out what’s really going on in the streets!
