Vučić and the Pardon That Shook Serbia!
Is Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić sending a message that violence goes unpunished? Four activists from the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), who brutally attacked students in Novi Sad in January, have just been pardoned! Yes, you read that right – pardoned are those who broke a student’s jaw with a baseball bat.
What exactly happened?
On January 28, in Novi Sad, a group of SNS activists attacked students. One girl suffered serious injuries – a broken jaw. The court initiated proceedings, and the four accused were either under house arrest or defending themselves freely.
And then – the pardon!
The Ministry of Justice delivered President Vučić’s decision to drop criminal charges for serious violent offenses. House arrest was lifted for one accused, and the others were already free. Is this a sign that violence in Serbia is tolerated or even supported?
Public reaction and consequences
This event sparked an uproar of dissatisfaction and concern among the public. It’s no wonder that at the end of January, Novi Sad’s mayor, Nataša Kovačev, resigned. She was in charge of the city during the attack.
People are asking – does Vučić’s move send a message that violence against students can go unpunished? Is this a green light for more violence and chaos in society?
What’s next?
As Serbia grapples with this scandal, the question remains – where is justice? Will someone finally stop such abuses of power? Or will we watch violence become part of the political game?
If you have thoughts on this madness, feel free to share. Maybe your word will spark a wave of change or at least a good meme about it.

Don’t stay silent – comment, laugh, or rage, but don’t leave this without a reaction!
