Blockades in Belgrade? Public Prosecutor and Police Say – Enough is Enough!
Are you ready for another chaos on the streets of Belgrade? The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade has once again called on citizens to refrain from illegal blockades and restrictions on the right to freedom of movement. Yes, you read that right – freedom of movement is not a license for chaos and blockades!
The Constitution and Law Are Clear
According to the statement from the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office (VJT), blockades of public traffic are against the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Serbia. The police have legal authority to react and prevent such actions. Disregarding the law can lead to misdemeanor or even criminal liability. So, if you thought you could block traffic and get away with it, think again.
Police Have Power and Won’t Hesitate to Use It
The police, according to Article 30 of the Police Law, are tasked with protecting public order and peace, the safety of life and property of citizens. They can independently take measures without prior consultation with judges or prosecutors. This includes temporarily restricting or prohibiting movement, removing persons from certain places, and even using force if necessary.
Anyone Who Dares to Disturb Public Order Should Be Ready
The police can use various means of coercion – from physical force, service batons, dogs, to special vehicles and chemical agents. All to prevent violence and chaos on the streets. And no, this is not police tyranny – the law clearly stipulates that the least severe means should be used to achieve the goal.
Public Prosecutor Leads Preliminary Investigation
If there is reasonable suspicion that someone committed a criminal offense, the public prosecutor leads a preliminary investigation and can order the police to take certain actions. So, blockades and violence on the streets are not just rude – they can be criminally prosecuted.
Conclusion: Freedom of Movement Is Not for Chaos
If you thought blocking traffic was a good way to express dissatisfaction, think again. The public prosecutor and police are ready to react quickly and decisively. Freedom of movement is a right for all citizens, not an excuse for creating disorder.
