Chaos in Belgrade: Vučić Addresses Nation After Violent Protests and Police Clashes
Belgrade is on fire! Violent blockers have turned the streets of Serbia’s capital into a battlefield, forcing the police to step in to restore order. In the clashes, six police officers were injured, showing just how out of control things have become.
President Aleksandar Vučić couldn’t stay silent. He announced he will address the nation on Sunday at 11 a.m., after trying to calm the situation on Saturday by calling for peace at Pionirski Park. Vučić made it clear that the state will be strong and will do its job, refusing to let violence and chaos take over.
But who are these blockers? Vučić called them a foreign force aiming to destroy Serbia. Illegal gatherings started around 6 p.m., and violence escalated after 9 p.m. when they attacked the police. All this while ordinary citizens just wanted to live in peace.
The police appealed to citizens to respect the law and order, emphasizing their duty to protect public peace. Police Director Dragan Vasiljević stated that the police will continue to maintain order despite the pressure and violence.
Meanwhile, media reports revealed that the number of protesters was three times smaller than at the March 15 rally, as admitted by an N1 TV journalist. This only fueled tensions and debates about the real support for the blockers.
This situation is a real test for Serbia and its government. Will the state manage to keep peace and stability, or will violence and chaos become the new normal? Vučić said the end always means Serbia’s victory, but is that enough to calm the anger and dissatisfaction on the streets?
If you have your own take on this, feel free to share it. Are the blockades justified, or is this just another attempt to destabilize the country? Who is really to blame for the violence? Let’s chat about it, because silence isn’t an option here!
