Serbia has seen escalating violence during protests against the ruling party, with clashes between demonstrators and police occurring nightly. Activists express that the unrest is a response to government actions, with citizens feeling unsafe under what they describe as a fascist regime. Protesters face confusion, unsure if they are confronting police or paramilitary members. Some of these groups include individuals with violent backgrounds. Activists claim that the violence stems from state repression and the government's failure to address protestors' demands.
"We went unarmed against bayonets," Vrebac told DW. "I feel, personally, as do other citizens who regularly attend protests, very upset, insecure, and unsafe, and that is a consequence of living under fascism, with all its manifestations."
"The authorities, with the help of party criminals, have declared a street war on citizens. But there is no turning back, things have come to a head. Citizens have realized that with the mafia, there is no room for parliamentary democracy, no negotiations left except about handing over power," Radivoje Jovovic from the Free Citizens' Movement told DW.
