Chaos on Serbian Streets: Police Losing Patience Over Blockades!
Last night, Belgrade and several other cities in Serbia were thrown into chaos due to road blockades. A whopping 11 locations in Belgrade and four across Serbia were blocked, forcing the police to act swiftly and decisively. Colonel Bojan Radovanović, Deputy Head of Traffic Police, made it crystal clear: if the blockaders don’t obey orders, the blockades will be forcibly removed!
What’s Going On?
Citizens faced blockades at intersections, bridges, and roads, causing total traffic standstills. Police first warned the crowds to disperse peacefully, but when that failed, they ordered the removal of blockades. In the last 48 hours, 76 people have been processed, with criminal charges filed against 10. The police have ramped up readiness and are using all operational capacities to protect public assembly participants and restore normal traffic flow.
What Do These Blockades Look Like?
Blockaders are using containers, dumping trash on the roads, and employing other tactics to disrupt traffic. This not only creates chaos but endangers emergency services, public health, and property. Police are forced to intervene and apply repressive measures to normalize traffic.
What’s the Government Saying?
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić visited the Ministry of Internal Affairs and highlighted on Instagram the heavy burden of fighting hooliganism and terrorism. It’s clear the government won’t allow blockades to threaten security and order in the country.
Why Does This Matter?
These blockades aren’t just a traffic problem. They signal deeper social tensions and dissatisfaction. Police are in a tough spot — balancing the right to protest with the duty to maintain public order and safety. But it’s clear that if orders aren’t followed, a firm response will follow.
The Bottom Line
Serbia is on the brink of a traffic collapse because of these blockades. Police have shown they won’t tolerate chaos and are ready to act decisively. But the big question remains — will the blockades end or escalate? And how long will citizens endure the fallout?
