Welcome to the Serbian version of “Big Brother” where BIA and the police play the role of the regime’s scary guards! Students who merely announced a protest on Vidovdan are being summoned for “friendly” informational talks, and one of them, Stefan Tomić, ended up in custody on terrorism charges! Yes, you read that right – terrorism over group chats! While President Vučić threatens “violence” at protests, lawyers and analysts warn of illegal and intimidating practices reminiscent of secret arrests and Guantanamo-style repression. All this while the regime tries to scare and break the will of young people who just want to express their dissatisfaction. Is this Serbia 2024 or some dystopian nightmare? Comment below – is this a fight for freedom or pure political terrorism? Share your take and don’t stay silent!
