Serbian protests (2020–present)

March 04, 2023

On 7 July 2020, a series of protests and riots began over the government announcement of the reimplementation of the curfew and the government's allegedly poor handling of the COVID-19 situation, as well as being a partial continuation of the "One of Five Million" movement. The initial demand of the protesters had been to cancel the planned reintroduction of curfew in Serbia during July, which was successfully achieved in less than 48 hours of the protest.[5][6] The protesters also demanded a more technical response to the COVID-19 crisis and more factual and constructive information about the ongoing medical situation. Among other causes, the protests were driven by the crisis of democratic institutions under Aleksandar Vučić's rule and the growing concern that the President is concentrating all powers in his hands at the expense of the parliament.[7]

Background

COVID-19 pandemic mismanagement

Further information: COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia

On 7 July 2020, the day when protests began, Serbia saw its deadliest day yet during the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia with 13 deaths. President Vučić said that situation in the capital city is alarming, and has announced that he is banning gatherings of more than 5 people and imposing a curfew from Friday 18:00 to Monday 5:00 local time.[8]

The Serbian Government has been accused of hiding true numbers of people infected and deaths from COVID-19. BIRN's research showed that in the period from 19 March to 1 June 2020, a total of 632 people died in Serbia who had tested positive for COVID-19 which is more than twice as many as the officially announced number of 244 deaths in that period. BIRN has learned that by analysing data obtained from the state's COVID-19 information system.[9] The President has been accused of lifting the lockdown too early in order to hold parliamentary elections in which his party won by a landslide.[8]

During this period, large parties,[10] sport events and gatherings happened and greatly increased the number of infected individuals. A big sport event was also held, a football game between Red Star and Partizan with tens of thousands people attending.[11] A leading specialist in the COVID-19 Crisis Team, closely related to the ruling party in money schemes,[12] has said that the sport events were not an epidemiological risk because "tickets were sold online" even though thousands attended without practising social distancing measures or wearing masks.[13] After those events, Danas newspaper called for Serbian Government COVID-19 Crisis Team "to wake up from hibernation" and ban large gatherings.[14] Serbian Government COVID-19 Crisis Team started consideration of reinforcement of COVID-19 measures one day after elections.[15]

Election fraud allegations

See also: 2020 Serbian parliamentary election

The leader of the opposition party Enough is Enough, Saša Radulović, has accused the ruling SNS of election fraud and said that numerous irregularities were recorded. Radulović has said the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) has repeatedly ignored the evidence of irregularities his party submitted and accused them of working in the ruling party's interest.[16]

His movement had submitted 2,700 complaints and on 30 June, Radulović told the media the Administrative Court had formally accepted 175 complaints his party had submitted, saying that the voting must, therefore, be repeated in 2700 polling stations which makes one-third of all polling stations. He had accused the Electoral Commission of not observing the proper procedures while counting votes, stating that the ballot box content was not checked and the voting results were determined solely on the basis of ballot paper account forms.[17]

Radulović has supported the protests and stated that his party's goal is to invalidate the election results and call for fresh elections. He has said that the goal of the protest should be to force the government to organise new elections.[18]

He has submitted pleas to the Constitutional Court of Serbia and has threatened to file a report to the European Court of Human Rights if the Serbian courts don't overthrow the elections. Rule of law and the independence of the judiciary is seriously hindered, as assessed by the European Commission Report for Serbia 2019.[19]

The president of the Association of Internet Workers, Miran Pogačar, told Tanjug that freelancers will stay in front of the Assembly for three days, that they will hold a protest tomorrow at 11 am, and that he will join the "Ecological Revolt" protest announced for Saturday, 10 April.[67] A protest called "Ecological Uprising" was organized in front of the Serbian Parliament on Saturday, 10 April, at which the authorities are asked to respect the Constitution and existing laws and harmonize regulations with the highest environmental standards, with equal participation of citizens and non-governmental organizations.

Protests against vaccination in 2020/21

7 September 2020

A group of citizens gathered at noon on 7 September in front of the "Trampoline" Institute to protest against, as they say, the announced trials of vaccines against the corona virus. The protest came after the Reuters news agency reported two days earlier that Serbia, together with Pakistan and two other countries, had agreed to participate in the testing of the corona virus vaccine produced by the Chinese company CNBG. Minister of Health Zlatibor Lončar denied, saying that the conditions for such testing to be done in the country have not been met, saying that the officials will be the ones who will appear before the public if something like that happens. The protest was led by Dr. Jovana Stojković, who told the gathered that the Minister of Education announced that the children would be taken away from their parents if they were not vaccinated, so the gathered people carried banners "We will not give you children".

There were several members of the MUP around the "Trampoline" building, the protest was peaceful and rarely any of the participants wore protective masks.[69]

10 October 2020

On 10 October, parents of missing babies held a protest rally in Belgrade's Republic Square with the aim of once again drawing public attention to the fate of children, who they believe were abducted at birth and then sold or given up for adoption. They also gathered to call on the competent institutions in Serbia to shed light on the circumstances under which their children disappeared. The Law on Determining the Facts on the Status of Newborn Children, which is suspected to have disappeared from a maternity hospital in Serbia, entered into force on 11 March 2020, and Article 17 stipulates that the deadline for initiating court proceedings is six months from the date of entry. to force. The main objections raised by the parents to the law are that it offers parents monetary compensation, instead of answering the question of what happened to their children. The Protector of Citizens of Serbia, Zoran Pašalić, said on 11 September, the day when the legal deadline for initiating court proceedings to establish the facts about missing babies expired, that the state of emergency introduced due to the kovid 19 epidemic should be extended for more than a month and a half. In that period, all deadlines in court proceedings ceased to run by a decree of the Government of Serbia. From the moment the law was passed onwards, the parents of the missing babies considered everything that happened to be "stretching and gaining time". Serbia was obliged to pass a special law, which would be the legal framework for resolving all cases of "missing babies", by the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg from 2013 in the case of one of Zorica Jovanovic's mothers. The verdict handed down in 2013 by the European Court of Human Rights against Serbia in the case of Zorica Jovanovic, who sued the state for failing to get an answer to the question of what happened to a baby who was told she died in a maternity hospital in Cuprija for more than thirty years. the day after birth, was the key moment. The verdict ordered that the issue of missing children must be resolved systematically, and the bill was in the Assembly almost six years after the expiration of the deadline that Serbia received from the Council of Europe. In Serbia, more than 2,000 parents, gathered in associations, are looking for the truth about babies born two, three or more decades ago, who were told in maternity hospitals that they died, which they suspect, because many of them never received children's bodies or supporting documentation.[70]

Ratko Ristić, the Dean of the Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade, introduced himself as "an arrogant ignoramus, as Minister Zorana Mihajlović called us, because we oppose mining for jadarite in the Drina Valley." He estimated that several million cubic meters of the most toxic metals would endanger the drainage basin to the Adriatic, of the Drina and the Sava, and in the future would endanger the water supply from the Sava and the Danube. He also said that Rio Tinto had no reference for lithium mining, because they mined for copper, iron and gold.
Zlatko Kokanović, a farmer from Gornje Nedeljice (the village where the proposed mine would be built) who annually produces 100,000 liters of milk, said that "if this project in Jadar passes, Serbia is ready." Another 40 mines, 10 of which lithium, by 2035. "Whoever does not have clean air, water, agriculture and land, will not be able to live."
Environmental activist Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta addressed the crowd with the words: "Who poisons Serbia - Linglong, Zidjin, Rio Tinto or maybe someone much more poisonous. There is a long list of predators that led to this evil. We are in the Bermuda Triangle - the city assembly, this is the one who, as soon as he sees a tree, immediately catches a chainsaw. The National Assembly of Serbia, filled with slaves who, instead of the people, will carry out the will of the one who imagined himself as a God, to whom Rio Tinto is dearer than our peasant. " He announced that after the rally in front of the National Assembly, he would block Branko's bridge, and if the mechanization appeared towards Loznica, he would block the whole of Serbia.
Actress Svetlana Bojković asked the gathered "Are we going to turn into a landfill so that the health and lives of our children and our families would be endangered?". "We must not allow Serbia to become a landfill for other people's dirty industries. What a pity. In the name of what? Profit? Has profit replaced God? It seems like that."
Around 16:10, a protest walk started towards Branko's Bridge, which would be blocked for two hours. There were incidents on the bridge because the police had not stopped the traffic on time. The situation was resolved after the passage of vehicles from the bridge to New Belgrade was freed. Cars and buses withdrew from the bridge because part of the bridge on the New Belgrade side was cleared.
A concert of Deca Loših Muzičara was held, as well as a liturgy led by the dismissed monk Antonije. Environmental activists ended the protest on Branko's bridge around 5:45 PM.[citation needed]
At the end of the meeting, the speakers said that "this was a warning blockade" and that they would "give the authorities seven days to fulfill their demands, and if that does not happen, they will continue with the protests in Serbia".[74][75]

Protest on 6 November 2021

A protest organized by the group "Ekološki ustanak" (Ecological Uprising) took place in front of the Radio Television of Serbia building in Belgrade. The participants demanded swift removal of the Rio Tinto commercial from the national television and the prohibition of the company advertising by the Electronic Media Regulatory Body. They also demanded revocation of all commitments to Rio Tinto by the Serbian government, and publishing the memorandum of understanding between the government and the company signed in 2017.
From the national television was requested to organize a prime-time debate between scientists, affected residents, and activists on one side and Rio Tinto representatives on the other side. The speakers included residents of the affected areas, actress Svetlana Bojković, the Dean of the Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade Ratko Ristić, environmental activist Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta, and others.[76]

Protest on 19 November 2021

On 19 November 2021 a few hundred people gathered in front of the Radio Television of Serbia building in Belgrade at 19:00. The organizer was the citizen group Kreni-Promeni and the protest was in response to the refusal of the public television to broadcast the ad titled "Serbia is not for sale" (Srbija nije na prodaju). The ad was providing contra arguments to the prime-time Rio Tinto daily commercial. It had been produced by Kreni-Promeni and supported by donations. The national television received the necessary documentation and payment earlier in the week; however, they had not started broadcasting it.[77]
An improvised theatre was created, and the ad was played over a video beam to the gathered citizens. The actors Jelena Stupljanin [de] and Viktor Savić who starred in the ad spoke. Stupljanin and Savić pointed out that it had nothing to do with politics. Stupljanin said: "It is really important for us all to realize that this is not a political battle; this is above politics. This is like when the national team is playing - it does not matter whether you support Zvezda or Partizan". She added that a complaint had been filed against Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).
RTS responded in a statement that they had not received all the necessary paperwork and that was the reason for their refusal.[77]

Protest on 24 November against proposed changes to the expropriation and referendum laws

On Wednesday 24 November a protest was held in Belgrade as a warning that the highways would be blocked by the citizens if the government passes the bills that some activists consider controversial, while the authorities respond that none of the bills targets the people or the environment.
The Rio Tinto plans to build a lithium mine in the proximity of Loznica have been received with concerns by many environmental activists and scientists in the field. The activists consider that the proposed amendments to the Expropriation Law and Referendum Law are going to give the government more power in realizing these plans.
A protest was organized by several environmental organizations. A few hours prior to it, the president of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić said that the proposed amendment to the Expropriation Law "has nothing to do with Rio Tinto". He said that the motive for changes to the law is the advancement of the big infrastructure projects that are being postponed because of the problems with the private property and the owners’ requests for big financial compensations.
The protesters brought signs with slogans related to the protection of the environment. Some of them read: "We want to breathe, and not to suffocate", "Polluters, you are not stronger than people", "Lithium in Levač – NO!", "We do not give Levač, we do not give Loznica, we do not give Serbia".
The protesters requested from the government to revoke the proposed changes to the Expropriation Law, that the foreign corporations are prohibited from exploiting natural resources, polluting and destroying fertile land, and for the people to be provided clear drinking water. At the request of the protest organizer, the gathered raised their keys into the air, as a symbolic gesture of showing that if the new bill is passed, their homes would be taken.[78]
Sava Manojlović, the president of the organization Kreni-Promeni said that the Expropriation Law and the Referendum Law have been created for Rio Tinto. "First it will be the residents of Jadar, but then what happens there could happen to any resident of Serbia … the government would take over their grandparents’ property", he said. He added that the highways in Serbia would be blocked if the laws are passed. "If Serbia wants to move forward, it first must stop", Manojlović said.[78]

Protests and Roadblocks on 27 November

As the controversial laws on property expropriation and referendum passed in the National Assembly on 26 November,[79][80] a one-hour blockade of roads in Serbia was held in Belgrade and other towns organized by several environmental organizations.[81]

Hundreds of people appeared simultaneously in the capital Belgrade, the northern city of Novi Sad and other locations (Šabac, Požega, Kosjerić, Preljina, Kragujevac, Brezjak, close to the village of Gornje Nedeljice where the proposed mine would be built[82]) to block main bridges and roads for one hour in what organizers described as a warning blockade. They pledged further protests if the laws on expropriation and referendum weren't withdrawn.[83][84] The biggest and hardest was in Šabac, but the conflicts between the protesters and the police also happened in Belgrade and Novi Sad. According to some posts on social networks, a group of people attacked protesters with bats in Šabac, and a bulldozer was moved through the crowd.[85] Some news outlets report that the incidents were initiated by the paramilitary connected with the government.[86] Organizers said a number of people have been detained.[83][84]
In Belgrade, the Gazela Bridge and the Mostar interchange were blocked, while a simultaneous protest was held in the center of the city.[82]
Police earlier have warned that any blockade of bridges is illegal.[84][82]
Deputy Prime Minister Zorana Mihajlović responded that "road blockade has nothing to do with ecology, and those utilizing it as a means of protest only show their irresponsibility".[82]

Protests and Roadblocks on 4 December

For the second Saturday in a row, thousands of demonstrators blocked some of the key roads in Serbia. The protesters gathered in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Šabac, Požarevac, Valjevo, Kraljevo, Užice, Jagodina, Leskovac, Kruševac, Vranje, Požega, Smederevo, Subotica, Preljina, and other towns in organization of multiple environmental organizations and citizen groups.[87][88][89]
The organizers stated the demands for revocation of the laws on referendum and expropriation, believed to be paving the way for Rio Tinto's lithium mine in western Serbia. The protests unfolded mainly peacefully with only sporadic incidents, as the uniformed police were not present at the scene. The protests lasted for about 2 hours.[87]
In Belgrade several thousand protesters blocked the highway close to the Sava Centar, the Gazela Bridge, and the Slavija Square. At the roundabout in front of Novi Beograd municipality building protesters were constantly crossing the road, thus blocking the traffic. Traffic at Branko's Bridge was also blocked. Earlier in the day lawyers organized a separate protest with the same demands.[88]
In Novi Sad an incident was reported when about twenty young men came out of the vehicles and confronted the demonstrators. A fight broke out involving about a hundred participants, and the injuries have been reported. The intruders fled the scene, and the police did not intervene.[88]
Protests in Šabac, where incidents had happened the week before, were peaceful. In the southern town of Niš several hundred of people gathered in front of the city assembly building.
Priority vehicles including ambulance were allowed passage through blockades.[87][90]
The demonstrators were holding Serbian flags and sporadically using whistles and trumpets.[88]
Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić ignored the protests and traveled to the site where the international mining company plans to start its excavations. His office said he wanted to talk to the locals about the project. Vučić alleges the protests are financed by the West to destabilize the country and bring the opposition to power.[89]
The Minister of Defence Nebojša Stefanović said: "The blockade of bridges, highways, roads and the paralysis of life in Belgrade and other cities in Serbia is not a way to express any opinion, but a gross violation of the rights of most citizens" and that opposition parties "want to return to power at any cost."[89]

Protests and Roadblocks on 11 December
 
Protests on the Gazela Bridge

Lead organizers of the previous weeks’ protests, Savo Manojlović and Nebojša Zelenović had a polemic during the Utisak nedelje show, which was held on 5 December.[91] Zelenović, who heads the Green-Left coalition, expressed support for two additional demands (resignation of the president of the Electronic Media Regulatory Body and cancellation of all obligations towards Rio Tinto), while Manojlović opposed the move because, as he stated "the story would be diluted", and he compared the move to the 1 of 5 million protests which failed due to adding demands during protests.[92] Two days later, Manojlović asserted that the protests wouldn't end until the demands were met.[93]
On 8 December, during the "Morning Program" on RTS, actors Marko Grabež and Nedim Nezirović voiced support for the upcoming protests.[94][95] Following the announcement that Vučić had withdrawn the expropriation law and amended the referendum law, Manojlović controversially declared the "big national celebration" and called for a celebration to be held in Belgrade.[96] He later overturned his statement saying that there could be no celebration while others continue to fight, and stated that "we cannot trample on the word we have given" and that no one should have monopoly over the protests.[97][98] Other leading organizations stated their support for the continuation of the protests.[99][100] On the day of the protests, Vučić stated that "all wishes of the protesters have been fulfilled".[101]

Organizers announced that roads in 50 cities would be blocked,[102][103] and over 40 organizations participated in the protests.[104] Manojlović and his "Kreni-Promeni" organization did not participate.[105] After the two main demands were adopted by the government, the protesters continued to demand that Rio Tinto leaves Serbia.[106][107][108] Although this time, the protests were only held for an hour do to rain and bad weather.[105] The protests mostly remained peaceful, with some incidents happening in Belgrade and Niš.[106][109] In Belgrade, a group of right-wing and anti-vax activists participated in the protests,[110] and a group of pro-government activists waved pro-Rio Tinto slogans.[111] Serbian diaspora also held protests in Brussels,[112] Prague, Washington, D.C., Berlin, New York City and London.[113][114] During the protests, Ćuta affirmed that "the protests won't stop until Rio Tinto leaves Serbia".[115]

Following the protests, minister Mihajlović stated that Ćuta supports "a violent change of government" and is "abusing environmentalism for the election campaign".[116][117] A day later, protests were also held in Zrenjanin.[118][119]

Protests against COVID passports

About two hundred citizens gathered in front of the Serbian Parliament the next evening to express their dissatisfaction with the introduction of passports for COVID-19. The part of the street in front of the assembly was closed because the gathered people went out on the street and blocked it, from the House of Trade Unions to the main post office building. At one point he came across an ambulance under rotation. At the beginning, some of those gathered did not want to miss it, but after the discussion, the van passed.

Then they started on Kneza Miloša Street in the direction of the Government of Serbia. Traffic was blocked there as well, and the police were also present.

A new protest was held in Niš with the same number of people and with similar messages. Residents of Niš protested again in the central city square because of the decision of the Republic Crisis Staff. The gathered, about 200 of them, pointed out that the decision to introduce passports "deprived them of basic human rights". "We want the right to choose, freedom of movement and freedom of speech.

She said that the obligatory vaccination of children must be stopped urgently. At the end of the protest, the gathered citizens briefly blocked the traffic in the center of Niš, and then dispersed. A new gathering at King Milan Square was announced for the following evening at 8 pm.[122]

Police brutality

Few journalists who were documenting protests on the night of 7 July 2020 said that police brutality was present.[123] Non-government organisation Belgrade center for human rights built two legal cases against policeman for police brutality.[124] Around 23:30 on 7 July 2020, police beat up Beta journalist with truncheons even though he showed the journalist legitimisation, they continued to hit him even after he fell on the ground.[125] Minister of Interior Nebojša Stefanović said police acted violently only when it was forced to.[20] Pictures of excessive force by police were shared across social media, one of an arrested protester lying on the ground with a policeman pressing his boot on his head.[126] During that night opposition parties, who had boycotted the parliamentary elections held a few weeks earlier, condemned the regime's use of force and called the authorities to take action against the policemen responsible for the excessive force, also calling citizens to meet the next day again at the same location.[127][128]

The day after the protest, government officials condemned the protesters' behaviour as "scandalous". The chief of police Vladimir Rebić justified the police action by stating that the use of teargas was proportionate.[129][130] Serbian PM Brnabić insisted that the state order would be preserved.[131] The minister of defence Aleksandar Vulin labelled the protest as a coup d'état intended to allow various punks, extremists and fascists to take over the government without elections and with no agenda beyond violent overthrow of the government.[132] Vucic appeared on a TV show, where he showed pictures of wounded policemen and accused the protesters of being violent. He stated that there would be no curfew for the weekend, although he would preferred to impose one. Regarding police brutality, he accused the protesters of being hostile, and accused the three men on the bench of attacking the police, prompting them to respond in self-defence.[133][134] He also accused foreign intelligence agencies in the region of organising the protest.[135]

The next evening police were again seen using excessive force towards the protesters. A new video circulated on social media in which a man was beaten by a crowd of policemen while lying on the ground, the policemen kicking and beating the man repeatedly. Other footage showed a police officer kneeling to tie his shoe next to an arrested and handcuffed protester lying face-down, while another officer slapped the protester in the face.[136] Journalists from NOVA S were again attacked by riot police, despite making it clear that they are members of the press.[137] The same day, Vulin ordered an elite military unit known as the 63rd parachute brigade to intervene in Niš because of a lack of police forces in the town. The military refused to intervene, stating that it was not their duty to intervene in such events, that the military enjoys respect and trust among the population, and that their duties are explained in the constitution.[138][139] A new video emerged after the protests showing a police officer setting a garbage bin on fire.[140]

Involvement of the armed forces

On 9 July 2020, several news outlets reported that the Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin had ordered the 63rd Parachute Brigade to clear peaceful protesters in Niš, but the Brigade commander has refused to carry on the order. The claim was denied by the Serbian Ministry of Defence saying that would go against the Constitution of Serbia as well as the existing Military Code.

The same day he declined a meeting with Russian ambassador Bocan-Harchenko.[143] Many government critics have suggested that this was an alibi for the west for not making progress in the Kosovo negotiations.[144] Later the Russian ambassador responded to the accusations of intervention on Twitter, mainly by CEAS (The Center of Euro-Atlantic Studies), stating that their accusations were absurd, accused them of Russophobia, and also criticising domestic media outlets for spreading such a statement.[145]

On 8 July, he called the protests an act of terrorism,[146] he also said the protests "don't bother him at all".[147] On 10 July, Vučić blamed Croatia for the riots.[148] Vučić has blamed the spike of COVID-19 on the protesters and has dissed them as "fascists, right-wingers, conspiracy theorists and flat-Earthers"[149] and etcetera.

On 7 July 2020 a series of protests and riots began over the government announcement of the reimplementation of the curfew and the government s allegedly poor handling of the COVID 19 situation as well as being a partial continuation of the One of Five Million movement The initial demand of the protesters had been to cancel the planned reintroduction of curfew in Serbia during July which was successfully achieved in less than 48 hours of the protest 5 6 The protesters also demanded a more technical response to the COVID 19 crisis and more factual and constructive information about the ongoing medical situation Among other causes the protests were driven by the crisis of democratic institutions under Aleksandar Vucic s rule and the growing concern that the President is concentrating all powers in his hands at the expense of the parliament 7 2020 2022 Serbian protestsPart of the protests over responses to the COVID 19 pandemicProtest in Belgrade on 7 July 2020Date7 18 July 2020

Belgrade as a warning that the highways would be blocked by the citizens if the government passes the bills that some activists consider controversial while the authorities respond that none of the bills targets the people or the environment The Rio Tinto plans to build a lithium mine in the proximity of Loznica have been received with concerns by many environmental activists and scientists in the field The activists consider that the proposed amendments to the Expropriation Law and Referendum Law are going to give the government more power in realizing these plans A protest was organized by several environmental organizations A few hours prior to it the president of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic said that the proposed amendment to the Expropriation Law has nothing to do with Rio Tinto He said that the motive for changes to the law is the advancement of the big infrastructure projects that are being postponed because of the problems with the private property and the owners requests for big financial compensations The protesters brought signs with slogans related to the protection of the environment Some of them read We want to breathe and not to suffocate Polluters you are not stronger than people Lithium in Levac NO We do not give Levac we do not give Loznica we do not give Serbia The protesters requested from the government to revoke the proposed changes to the Expropriation Law that the foreign corporations are prohibited from exploiting natural resources polluting and destroying fertile land and for the people to be provided clear drinking water At the request of the protest organizer the gathered raised their keys into the air as a symbolic gesture of showing that if the new bill is passed their homes would be taken 78 Sava Manojlovic the president of the organization Kreni Promeni said that the Expropriation Law and the Referendum Law have been created for Rio Tinto First it will be the residents of Jadar but then what happens there could happen to any resident of Serbia the government would take over their grandparents property he said He added that the highways in Serbia would be blocked if the laws are passed If Serbia wants to move forward it first must stop Manojlovic said 78 Protests and Roadblocks on 27 November Edit As the controversial laws on property expropriation and referendum passed in the National Assembly on 26

main bridges and roads for one hour in what organizers described as a warning blockade They pledged further protests if the laws on expropriation and referendum weren t withdrawn 83 84 The biggest and hardest was in Sabac but the conflicts between the protesters and the police also happened in Belgrade and Novi Sad According to some posts on social networks a group of people attacked protesters with bats in Sabac and a bulldozer was moved through the crowd 85 Some news outlets report that the incidents were initiated by the paramilitary connected with the government 86 Organizers said a number of people have been detained 83 84 In Belgrade the Gazela Bridge and the Mostar interchange were blocked while a simultaneous protest was held in the center of the city 82 Police earlier have warned that any blockade of bridges is illegal 84 82 Deputy Prime Minister Zorana Mihajlovic responded that road blockade has nothing to do with ecology and those utilizing it as a means of protest only show their irresponsibility 82 Protests and Roadblocks on 4 December Edit For the second Saturday in a row thousands of demonstrators blocked some of the key roads in Serbia The protesters gathered in Belgrade Novi Sad Nis Sabac Pozarevac Valjevo Kraljevo Uzice Jagodina Leskovac Krusevac Vranje Pozega Smederevo Subotica Preljina and other towns in organization of multiple environmental organizations and citizen groups 87 88 89 The organizers stated the demands for revocation of the laws on referendum and expropriation believed to be paving the way for Rio Tinto s lithium mine in western Serbia The protests unfolded mainly peacefully with only sporadic incidents as the uniformed police were not present at the scene The protests lasted for about 2 hours 87 In Belgrade several thousand protesters blocked the highway close to the Sava Centar the Gazela Bridge and the Slavija Square At the roundabout in front of Novi Beograd municipality building protesters were constantly crossing the road thus blocking the traffic Traffic at Branko s Bridge was also blocked Earlier in the day lawyers organized a separate protest with the same demands 88 In Novi Sad an incident was reported when about twenty young men came out of the vehicles and confronted the demonstrators A fight broke out involving about a hundred participants and the injuries have been reported The intruders fled the scene and the police did not intervene 88 Protests in Sabac where incidents had happened the week before were peaceful In the southern town of Nis several hundred of people gathered in front of the city assembly building Priority vehicles including ambulance were allowed passage through blockades 87 90 The demonstrators were holding Serbian flags and sporadically using whistles and trumpets 88 Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic ignored the protests and traveled to the site where the international mining company plans to start its excavations His office said he wanted to talk to the locals about the project Vucic alleges the protests are financed by the West to destabilize the country and bring the opposition to power 89 The Minister of Defence Nebojsa Stefanovic said The blockade of bridges highways roads and the paralysis of life in Belgrade and other cities in Serbia is not a way to express any opinion but a gross violation of the rights of most citizens and that opposition parties want to return to power at any cost 89 Protests and Roadblocks on 11 December Edit Protests on the Gazela Bridge Lead organizers of the previous weeks protests Savo Manojlovic and Nebojsa Zelenovic had a polemic during the Utisak nedelje show which was held on 5 December 91 Zelenovic who heads the Green Left coalition expressed support for two additional demands resignation of the president of the Electronic Media Regulatory Body and cancellation of all obligations towards Rio Tinto while Manojlovic opposed the move because as he stated the story would be diluted and he compared the move to the 1 of 5 million protests which failed due to adding demands during protests 92 Two days later Manojlovic asserted that the protests wouldn t end until the demands were met 93 On 8 December during the Morning Program on RTS actors Marko Grabez and Nedim Nezirovic voiced support for the upcoming protests 94 95 Following the announcement that Vucic had withdrawn the expropriation law and amended the referendum law Manojlovic controversially declared the big national celebration and called for a celebration to be held in Belgrade 96 He later overturned his statement saying that there could be no celebration while others continue to fight and stated that we cannot trample on the word we have given and that no one should have monopoly over the protests 97 98 Other leading organizations stated their support for the continuation of the protests 99 100 On the day of the protests Vucic stated that all wishes of the protesters have been fulfilled 101 Organizers announced that roads in 50 cities would be blocked 102 103 and over 40 organizations participated in the protests 104 Manojlovic and his Kreni Promeni organization did not participate 105
