Today's protest is considered the largest in Serbia, sending a very clear message to President Vučić...
Aleksandar Vučić's ground has begun to tremble. Over 100,000 students and citizens have filled the streets of Belgrade today, holding one of the largest protests ever seen in the country. Titled "15 for 15", it was triggered by the death of 15 citizens from the collapse of the station shelter in Novi Sad, while today marks March 15.
Tens of thousands of people have gathered on King Aleksandar Boulevard, near the Serbian Parliament. Large crowds of people have been seen in the city center, holding university flags, Serbian flags, and symbols of their hometowns. The protest began at 4:00 PM and is expected to last until 9:00 PM.
While today's protest is seen as the most problematic and a real test of Vučić's power, the Serbian president seems to be facing problems even among the ranks of the law enforcement agencies.
Serbian media reports that a number of officers have refused to be in the protest, while others have stated that they will not physically confront citizens if such a scenario becomes possible. " Of course, something is happening in the police department. Usually, the gendarmerie is the first to be deployed at such a rally. We are receiving information that some police units have refused to beat citizens, or that they did not want to take to the streets to avoid participating in such a scenario. It is clear that something is happening in the police ," reports N1.
Meanwhile, it is reported that Ivan Vuković, vice president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and member of parliament for that party in Montenegro, was arrested today.
He was detained by the Serbian Security and Intelligence Agency (BIA) during a visit to Serbia, reports "Vijesti". The reason is suspected to be his sharing on social media of images from today's protest in Belgrade.

Meanwhile, Vučić has surrounded state bodies with tractors, numerous police and military forces. Meanwhile, he has reacted to the media by not taking a single step back.
" There will be no transitional government as long as I am alive. I do not agree with blackmail and pressure, I am the president of Serbia and I will not allow the street to determine the rules in this country ," he said.

The collapse of a tent in Novi Sad in early November last year sparked massive protests in Serbia and is the biggest test yet for the government led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. The protest has been hailed as the start of the “Serbian Spring.” / Pamphlet
