Serbian police remove barricades in Belgrade and make new arrests as protesters block roads

  • On June 28, 2025, Serbian police removed barricades in Belgrade after mass protests demanding an early election and justice for 16 killed in a Novi Sad canopy collapse.
  • The protests followed nearly eight months of near-daily demonstrations led by university students triggered by the November 1, 2024 train station canopy collapse blamed on corruption.
  • Tens of thousands gathered to demand a snap parliamentary election aimed at removing President Vucic’s right-wing government, with violent clashes resulting in injuries to dozens of police officers and protesters.
  • Vucic condemned protesters as 'terrorists' trying to overthrow the state and denied authoritarianism claims while police detained dozens including at least eight students accused of planning attacks.
  • The removal of blockades signals temporary government control, but ongoing dissent suggests continued tensions over demands for early elections and accountability.
