Chaos on Serbia’s Streets: Police Detain 13 Over Traffic Blockades!
Ready for a new level of chaos? Serbia is on fire with protests, and on the night of July 6th, the police detained a whopping 13 people for blocking traffic! Yes, you read that right – 13 individuals arrested for causing traffic disruptions.
What’s going on? The protest blockades have been going on for seven days, and citizens have decided not to stay silent. They demand snap elections, the release of detained students, and the removal of the protest camp in downtown Belgrade. It all started after a tragedy in Novi Sad, where 16 people died due to a falling canopy at the railway station.
Police and their message The Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs urges citizens to refrain from illegal activities and not to block traffic in a way that endangers safety. But is this just an attempt to silence the voice of the people?
Interesting detail Among those detained is Boris Pendelj, a professor at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, accused of breaking the law by blocking the street with a pushed container. After questioning, he was released, but this only shows how tense the situation is.
Where are the blockades? Blockades continued in Zemun, and protests are spreading across Serbia. Students called for civil disobedience after protests on June 28th in Belgrade.
Why does this matter? These protests are not just about blocking traffic. They are the voice of the people demanding accountability from the authorities for the Novi Sad tragedy and political change.
Conclusion While the authorities try to calm things down, citizens are not backing off. Will Serbia finally get snap elections? Will the people’s voice be heard, or will the police continue arrests?
