Belgrade is in chaos due to blockades of intersections that have paralyzed traffic across the city. The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade issued a statement this morning urging citizens not to break the law and announced increased duty shifts to respond promptly to illegal blockades. Dačić made it clear: we cannot allow a small group of people to block vital traffic arteries and disrupt the daily lives of millions of Belgraders.
The police have pulled trolleybuses and trams into garages because many main roads are periodically blocked. Clashes between protesters and police occurred in front of the SNS offices, and a PSG MP was arrested. The Belgrade-Bar railway line is also blocked, further complicating the situation.
The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office reminds that restricting freedom of movement through blockades is against the Constitution and laws of Serbia, and violations will result in misdemeanor or criminal liability. The police have broad powers to act — from warnings, identity checks, to the use of force, including special means such as service dogs, horses, and even chemical agents.
All measures can be taken by the police independently, without prior consultation with judges or prosecutors, aiming to preserve public order, peace, and citizen safety. The prosecutor’s office leads the preliminary investigation and can order the police to take actions to identify and prosecute perpetrators of criminal acts.
The situation in Belgrade is tense, and the authorities send a clear message: chaos and blockades will not be tolerated. If you think this is just another protest wave, think again — this is a game with law and order, and the consequences can be serious. So, what do you think? Is this a fight for rights or just rudeness suffocating the city? Drop a comment, let the people’s voice be heard!
