Vučić’s Regime in Panic: Students Stir Chaos on Vidovdan, Arrests Like Milošević Era!
Vidovdan, one of the most important holidays for Serbs, will not be peaceful this year in Belgrade. Students and citizens have been demanding political accountability for eight months following a tragedy in Novi Sad, where a railway station canopy collapsed, killing 16 people. A major protest is scheduled for June 28, precisely on Vidovdan, with a deadline given to the government by students expiring at 9 PM that day.
The demands are clear: call for early parliamentary elections and stop counter-protests supporting Vučić. But the regime is not sitting idle. Fearing the protests, police have already arrested seven people, including students, war veterans, and citizens, accused of planning violent regime change. Weapons such as an unlicensed pistol and a crossbow were found among the detainees, which the regime uses to justify its repressive tactics.
State-controlled media spread fake news and fear. For example, a fake newspaper cover with Vučić’s image and the headline “Vučić falls on Saturday” circulates on social media, while regime tabloids portray Serbs as monsters and genocidal criminals. This all eerily resembles the tactics used by Slobodan Milošević before his downfall.
Solidarity with the students has been shown by three teachers who were fired for supporting the protests, and many university staff have not been paid for months because the government refuses to pay salaries during the class blockades. Serbian actors and artists mostly support the students, but the regime appointed Dragoslav Bokan, a notorious Greater Serbian extremist and former commander of a Chetnik unit, as head of the National Theatre.
Vučić claims the “color revolution” is over and that the state will not need to use force, but the arrests and repression tell a different story. While in Croatia and Graz no one takes to the streets, in Serbia fear and repression are spreading like never before.
If you think this is just another protest, think again. This is a fight for Serbia’s future, and the regime is ready to go all the way to keep power. Vidovdan has never been just a holiday – it has become a symbol of resistance and the fight for justice.
So, what about you? Will you sit on the sidelines or join the conversation? Maybe your joke or comment will be the light that breaks this darkness!
