30 June 2025, 08:15 Authorities have warned against a repeat of the previous night’s riots
Anti-government protesters erected barricades in Belgrade and Novi Sad on Sunday evening, following a large rally demanding new elections in Serbia.
Demonstrators had clashed with officers in the capital the previous night. Police have warned organizers that they would not tolerate further unrest.
The student-led protest movement began after a concrete canopy collapsed at a newly renovated railway station in Novi Sad last November, killing 16 people. Activists have demanded accountability, blaming the tragedy on mismanagement and corruption.
On Sunday, the student group Blokada FON published a map of roadblocks in Belgrade and urged opposition lawmakers to boycott parliamentary sessions.
Citizens are blocking entire Belgrade in response to police brutality and mass arrests of students. Even the smallest intersections are barricaded.

President Aleksandar Vucic, who has labeled the demonstrators “hooligans paid from abroad,” has refused to resign or call new elections. “Serbia has won. You can’t defeat Serbia with violence,” he told reporters on Sunday.
