Psychologist: Vučić frustrated by protest numbers, no longer feared

Psychologist Ana Mirković commented that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić seemed frustrated by the large turnout and spontaneous nature of a recent protest in Slavija. She described the event as more impactful than previous protests at the same location, highlighting student gatherings as a genuine barometer of societal mood.

Mirković explained that such protests serve as a precise measure of how many people are willing to commit not only energy but also financial resources and overcome organizational hurdles. She noted that attendees came to Belgrade at the students' call, standing for two hours without expecting concrete political change, but simply to stand with like-minded individuals who understand that the current leadership's time is limited.

That is an exact indicator of how many people are willing to invest not only energy but also finances, as well as overcome organizational hurdles, to come to Belgrade at the call of the students, stand for two hours without any expectation that something more concrete in terms of change of power will happen at that protest, but just to be among people with whom they share values and who know that he is finished.

She further elaborated that "every dictatorial regime measures and builds its strength on the constant dissemination of stories that instill fear in people." Mirković asserted that Vučić is now in a position where "fear has changed sides; no one fears him anymore, and this directly undermines the foundations of any dictatorial regime."
