Serbian protests Megathread

[u/BkkGrl]

Serbia is currently experiencing protest and clashes against the government and its police forces.

This thread is to gather all the single pieces of media, pictures and videos.

However every main event and news in the form of link will deserve its own topic.

Thanks for your collaboration

Dude, that's exactly my point. I don't understand why you expect something from the EU when you openly side with Moscow.

Who is on the side of Moscow? Some Serbs of course, in general we are not. Also that's not the reason for eu to stay silent on things happening in the past few days.

I agree with you that the EU should not stay silent, let alone provide any funding.

What concerns siding with Moscow - I've seen plenty of pro-russian comments, actions, even demonstrations in the past years. I've seen plenty of anti-NATO sentiment, which often transforms into anti-European. I don't think I've seen a single noteable pro-EU activity though.

I wish them all the best, I really really do. Get those criminals and mafia out of Serbia. And here comes the BUT. And yes I am Croatian, I get it, all that Ustaše stuff and that concert a month ago.... And we have out own politicians thugs.

BUT, 15-20 minutes ago I was watching N1 Serbia livestream and the camera was showing Kragujevac. Front row protestors, 50-ish years old was shouting/telling police cordon:
"Why are You here, why aren't you in Kosovo. That is Serbian land."
Yeah only one dude were saying it, but no one even looked at him like wtf dude.
So yeah, they wont let that go, even with new government. Hope I am wrong thou, again wish them all the best.
The rest of EU, just pay attention to this part of Europe, all of it.

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that the pro-Vučić government in Serbia is also pro-Kosovo (in the sense of claiming it as part of Serbia). That’s why protests can target them on this point: “If you’re so strong and committed to reclaiming Kosovo, why are you busy attacking your citizens instead?” It’s not meant literally, but as a jab at the police and pro-Vučić regime, pointing out the weakness and hypocrisy in their Kosovo stance.

Also, I mean this respectfully, being pro-Kosovo or anti-Kosovo is fine. People are allowed to have opinions, especially in this political climate. It’s no different than people debating whether Taiwan is part of China. One 50-year-old’s view on Kosovo shouldn’t define the whole issue, and even if 60% of Serbs are pro-Kosovo, that alone doesn’t decide anything.

In recent years, Kosovo hasn’t been Serbia’s biggest problem. Vučić has.

Simple. Let's take Knin census before the war into consideration. Then rebelion happened and we know how that ended up. I'd say census is different now. Any time before your liberation, did you consider telling your armed forces "Go to Knin" as smth normal or you were: "wtf, dude it's different country?".

My point is not comparing and questioning these 2 situations(although they are pretty much the same, albeit with different outcome), my point is you Croats don't have moral high ground or right to tell Serbs what to do. Even if they are wrong, that only makes you wrong too.
