Serbian Protesters Set Up Barricades, Demand Release Of Detained Demonstrators
Briefly

In Serbia, large-scale anti-government protests erupted on June 30, with thousands participating across various cities, including Belgrade and Novi Sad. Protesters, primarily led by students, erected barricades and blocked major roads, including Gazelle Bridge, while demanding the release of individuals detained during earlier protests. The demonstrations intensified after police arrests at a rally on June 28. Citizens expressed their frustration over government treatment of youth and called for accountability for law enforcement actions. Activists emphasized the need for a lawful and just society amid rising tensions against President Aleksandar Vucic's administration.
They need to release the detainees. It is ugly how the government treats young people. We want to live in a free country, as the students demand.
We are appealing to the institutions to start doing their job. To arrest those really responsible for the violence. Last night they beat people, they caught whoever they arrived.
