Vidovdan in Belgrade: Where Are the Limits of Patience?
Vidovdan, the mythical day of Serbian history, did not pass quietly in Belgrade this year. Instead of a peaceful celebration, the city became a battleground of protests, threats, and political drama that only escalated.
Before the demonstrations even began, the atmosphere was already electric. Announcements of protests, threats, and political games cast a shadow over this important date. Our reporters were on the ground, following every step and every breath.
Why did Vidovdan become a clash zone this year? Because on the streets of Belgrade, different interests and views collide. While some celebrate history and tradition, others use the occasion to express dissatisfaction with current politics.
In the spotlight were statements from politicians like Vučić, who clearly stated that Serbia did not accept ultimatums. On the other hand, tensions flared further due to actions against individuals like Marunović, whose expulsion from Serbia sparked condemnations and demands for explanations.
What complicates the situation even more is the regional context — announcements of groups coming from Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina to Kosovo, as well as international pressures and EU negotiations. All this creates a complex web of political and social tensions reflected on Belgrade’s streets.
As protests unfold, citizens are divided — some support the demonstrators, others condemn the unrest. And in the background, the question remains: how long can Serbia withstand such pressures without breaking apart?
If you think this is just another ordinary protest, think again. Vidovdan 2024 shows how deep the crisis in society is and how tensions are on the brink of explosion.
