[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Students and teachers conducted a peaceful protest in Nis, Serbia on March 31, 2025, opposing the resumption of the school year amid ongoing education sector blockades. The demonstration appears to be part of broader educational disruptions, with some teachers continuing strikes while others have returned to work.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether labor unrest spreads beyond the education sector.

Watch points

• Monitor whether education sector protests expand to include other public sector workers or spread to major economic centers like Belgrade
• Track any escalation in protest tactics or government response that could signal broader social unrest affecting business operations
