Demonstrations against authoritative and law enforcement brutality in Serbia
In the heart of Serbia, protests have been a regular occurrence for over ten months, with demonstrations in both Novi Sad and Belgrade continuing unabated. The recent events in Novi Sad, however, have sparked renewed outrage and solidarity among the protesters.
The catalyst for the Novi Sad protests was the tragic collapse of a freshly renovated train station canopy on November 1, 2024. The incident resulted in the deaths of 16 people and has led to widespread accusations of corruption and poor workmanship under the Vucic government.
The protesters in Novi Sad have been particularly angered by the police's violent intervention in the city. On November 1, 2024, protests escalated at the building of the local Philosophy Faculty, with police using tear gas, stun grenades, and batons against peaceful protesters. The pro-government dean of the Philosophy Faculty had earlier forced students to vacate a building they had occupied for nine months.
The anger towards President Vucic and his government is not confined to Novi Sad. Thousands of people demonstrated in Belgrade, the capital, accusing Vucic of corruption and autocracy. The demonstrations have been taking place on an independent TV station N1, providing a platform for the protesters' voices to be heard.
The government, however, has countered these allegations, claiming that protesters had attacked police officers in Novi Sad. Media reports have been conflicting, making it difficult to verify the exact sequence of events.
The protests in Belgrade are still ongoing, mirroring those in Novi Sad. The demonstrations in Serbia show no signs of abating, as the people continue to demand transparency, accountability, and a change in leadership.
In the absence of verified information about who ordered the bombing of the student protests in Novi Sad, the air of suspicion and mistrust hangs heavy over the nation. The people of Serbia await answers, hoping for a resolution that will bring peace and justice to their troubled land.
