[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 30, 2025, citizens, teachers, and farmers conducted a peaceful protest in Lapovo, Serbia, using cars and tractors to gather at the Assembly building. The demonstration supported ongoing student blockades and demanded accountability for the Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse, including a 16-minute silence as part of the "Serbia, Stop" campaign.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. Second-order effects would depend on whether the protests expand beyond Lapovo or if the underlying grievances related to infrastructure safety concerns lead to broader disruptions of Serbia's transport networks.

Watch points

• Monitor whether protests spread to other Serbian cities or escalate beyond peaceful demonstrations
• Track any government response that could affect broader infrastructure operations or agricultural activities given farmer participation
