Chaos on Serbia’s Streets: Who’s to Blame for the Blockades and Why is the State Silent?
Serbia is in chaos, and the streets of its biggest city have been under siege by blockades for months. Does anyone in power even know what’s going on? Or are they just watching the country turn into a lawless battlefield?
Blockades as a Symptom of Hybrid Warfare
Lawyer Branko Pavlović and Constitutional Court judge Vladan Petrov make it clear – these aren’t just ordinary protests. Serbia is under a strong hybrid attack, and the blockades are just a consequence of that pressure. While ordinary people suffer in the heat and try to get through the blockades, the government pretends there’s no problem.
People are attacking police, overturning containers, and children are at risk because blockades happen where they play. Has anyone thought about that? Of course not! This is total chaos threatening the safety of all citizens.
The State is Too Lenient, and the Law is Just Dead Letter
Judge Petrov explains that sanctions are mostly administrative, but there are grounds for criminal prosecution. However, lawyer Pavlović says the penalties are too mild and don’t serve as a warning. In other countries, parents who endanger their children like this would lose custody, but here? Everything is too lenient and consequence-free.
Who’s to Blame for This Chaos? The Government or the Blockaders?
Historian Predrag Marković says the government should offer a compromise but doesn’t. Every new wave of protests comes as a response to bad government moves. Will anything ever change? Or will we get used to living in emergency conditions where you can’t safely move around the city?
What Do Citizens Want?
Ordinary people want peace and order. They don’t want their children exposed to danger, they don’t want their lives turned into hell because of blockades lasting for months. But while the government stays silent and blockaders continue, Serbia sinks into anarchy.
Conclusion: Serbia on the Brink of Collapse
This isn’t just a blockade problem. It’s a system problem that doesn’t work, problems piling up threatening to destroy everything built over decades. If nothing changes, Serbia will remain trapped in a vicious circle of chaos and lawlessness.
So, what do you think? Is it time to finally stop the blockades or is this just the start of even bigger chaos? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for order and who’s for chaos!
