Belgrade’s city center turned into a battlefield after the student protest at Slavija! Masked young men armed with sticks attacked the police cordon, sparking chaos and clashes that lasted for hours. According to director Vasiljević, the police used minimal force, but that didn’t stop dozens from being arrested and injured on both sides. It all started on Kneza Miloša street near the Turkish embassy, and the violence quickly spread to King Alexander Boulevard. Former Belgrade police chief Žarko Popović says there was an excessive use of force, while authorities claim all attackers will be arrested. President Vučić personally appeared at the scene, calling for peace and declaring the state strong. Video footage shows demonstrators trying to break through the police cordon, and one protester was arrested after throwing objects at police in front of the General Staff. This night in Belgrade will be remembered as one of the most turbulent in recent times, raising questions about the limits of protests and police response. Think this is the end? Think again — clashes continue and the city is burning with tension. So, what do you think? Did the police go too far, or did the protesters cross every line?
