Serbian Students Plan Rally Over Alleged Police Brutality from Previous Year

A year after alleged police brutality during protests, students in Serbia are organizing a new rally. The demonstrations are set to take place on August 14 and 15, 2025, commemorating the intense clashes that occurred on those dates in the previous year. Students involved accused law enforcement and the government, led by Prime Minister Djuro Matsut, of repression following the confrontations.

The planned rally highlights the students' continued grievances and their demand for accountability. The event serves as a reminder of the events of August 2025, when protests escalated into violent confrontations. The students' accusations point to a significant breakdown in trust between the youth and the authorities.

Organizers aim to bring attention to what they describe as ongoing repressive measures. The rally is expected to draw attention to the students' calls for justice and to shed light on the lingering impact of the 2025 incidents on the country's political and social landscape.
