Rakovica Assembly Member Detained Ahead of Police Station Protest

Gordana Đukić, a member of the Rakovica Citizens' Assembly, was detained by police on Saturday and taken to the Rakovica police station. Her detention occurred just hours before a planned protest outside the station, which was organized to demand action regarding the police's alleged failure to respond to incidents during a rally in late April.

Witnesses reported that Đukić was chanting slogans outside the police station when officers approached her and escorted her inside. The Rakovica Citizens' Assembly has announced that the protest aims to secure the dismissal of Milan Peković, the chief of the Rakovica Police Station. A petition calling for his removal has been initiated and will be available for signing at the protest.

The police have stated that they are searching for three individuals suspected of assaulting activists in April. The circumstances surrounding Đukić's detention and its connection to the ongoing investigation or the planned protest remain a focal point for the citizens' assembly.
