  • The movement said many Novi Sad residents consider Vučić unwelcome while the city remains in mourning for 16 people killed in a 2024 railway station canopy collapse.

Dozens of activists in Novi Sad have been called in for police questioning ahead of President Aleksandar Vučić’s planned appearance and rally in the city on September 4. Those summoned include Bravo movement members Brajan Brković and Miran Pogačar.

Bravo said the rally is being surrounded by secrecy because authorities have not disclosed its exact time or location. The civic movement described the police summons as part of an effort to intimidate the public.

“Our members are constantly targeted, but we want to make it clear that we have nothing to hide. We ask this regime: What are you afraid of? Are you threatened by unarmed people facing your armed phalanxes?” the movement said in a press release.

Bravo also said Novi Sad residents view the president as unwelcome in a city still mourning the 16 people killed when a railway station canopy collapsed on November 1, 2024.

Our members are constantly targeted, but we want to make it clear that we have nothing to hide. We ask this regime: What are you afraid of? Are you threatened by unarmed people facing your armed phalanxes?
