Car belonging to SNS official set ablaze in Serbian village

Tensions have escalated in Serbia following a series of alleged attacks on members of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in the village of Maglić, near Bački Petrovac. SNS President Miloš Vučević reported that the car of the local SNS chairman, Srđan Simić, was set ablaze, while other party members had their vehicle tires punctured. Vučević also stated that the ruling party's premises in Bački Petrovac were targeted. In a strong statement on the social network X, Vučević condemned these actions as a "serious alarm for the entire society" and urged institutions to react swiftly. He accused unnamed individuals of entering the private property of SNS members, setting cars on fire, and leaving threatening messages. Vučević suggested that these acts of violence stem from a political elite unable to win elections through legitimate means, resorting instead to intimidation and force. This incident highlights the deeply polarized political climate in Serbia and raises concerns about the potential for further escalation of inter-party conflict.
