Serbian students, protesters clash with police in Belgrade

Police seized computers and other items during the search, while protesters said the raid lacked a valid legal basis.

  • On Tuesday, hundreds of students clashed with police in Belgrade during protests against a search of University of Belgrade offices, where officers used truncheons to disperse crowds chanting "dogs" and "traitors."
  • Police Director Dragan Vasiljevic stated officers acted on a court order to investigate a student's death, though University Rector Vladan Djokic claimed police entered without valid legal explanation and seized computers.
  • Vasiljevic reported finding firecrackers, walkie-talkies, gas masks, banners, and first-aid supplies during the search, suggesting preparation for sustained action by protesters.
  • Anti-Government protests have swept across Serbia since December 2024, sparked by 16 deaths in a Novi Sad railway station awning collapse, with protesters accusing Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic of corruption and violence.
  • Addressing protesters, Djokic declared, "You can raid university premises, but you cannot raid people's conscience," reflecting a pattern of student activism at University faculties that emerged last year.
