Tonight around 7 PM, Belgrade was shaken by news of an explosion at a famous restaurant on Cvijićeva Street. But hold your horses before you panic and spread false info! It wasn’t a gas bottle that exploded — it was a glass bottle that burst. Yes, you read that right — a bottle! A kitchen worker suffered only minor cuts, no serious injuries, and the property damage was minimal to none. Yet, the media jumped on the drama train as if it was a bomb, not just a simple accident.
At the same time, Belgrade was under multiple traffic blockades due to ongoing protests, adding fuel to the city’s tension. Streets like Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra and Ustanička were closed, trams stopped running, and citizens were left wondering what was really going on. Was this another attempt to stir chaos or just poor info coordination?
This whole situation is a perfect example of how small things can blow up into big news that causes panic. Instead of focusing on real city problems like protests and blockades that have lasted six nights, the media grabbed onto a sensational story about an “explosion.”
So next time you hear something exploded in Belgrade, maybe check if it’s really a bomb or just a bottle that popped. And you, dear readers, what do you think about this media approach? Over the top or just doing their job? Drop a comment, maybe we’ll uncover another “explosive” story together!
