Ah, Vidovdan at Slavija Square! While students peacefully demanded snap parliamentary elections, the police decided to flex their muscles. The protest gathered around 8,222 people according to organizers, but only 36 according to the Ministry of Interior (yes, three times less!). Tensions were sky-high. What started as a peaceful gathering ended in a wave of incidents and police interventions. Two police cordons stopped the demonstrators’ columns, and students urged citizens to record and share “all footage of police violence and thugs.” Is this a fight for democracy or a public show? And why does the Ministry of Interior keep downplaying the number of participants? If you thought protests were boring, think again! Slavija was the arena where demands for change clashed with repression. So, what do you think? Did the police go too far, or are the students just too loud? Drop a comment, let the people’s voice be heard!
