A citizens’ assembly in Sombor called a gathering ahead of Aleksandar Vučić’s arrival, but those who came were prevented from reaching the location where the Serbian president was expected to appear.

Police and supporters of the Serbian Progressive Party, known as SNS, blocked citizens gathered in the town’s assemblies from approaching the site. The location is a construction site on the city’s outskirts, where the Soinfo.org portal reported that several hundred SNS supporters had gathered.

Soinfo also reported that police moved away residents of Kljajićevo who stood on the road expected to be used by Vučić, holding a banner that read, “Students are winning.”

The report said a similar situation occurred the previous day in Niš, where the SNS Main Board held a meeting attended by Vučić. Citizens tried to approach the National Theatre from several directions before the meeting. Police cordons stopped them, while Vučić addressed assembled supporters outside the theatre.
