Hundreds of Serbian students faced off with police in a dramatic protest in Belgrade after authorities searched University of Belgrade offices. The confrontation escalated existing tensions between government and anti-government factions that have persisted for over a year.
In the heart of Belgrade, protesters briefly clashed with police who wielded truncheons to scatter the crowd. Demonstrators shouted ‘dogs’ and ‘traitors’ in anger over the search linked to a female student’s tragic death.
Amid charges of corruption and media suppression against President Vucic, anti-government protests have continued in Serbia since December 2024. While the government defends its actions, public distrust has only deepened.
