[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Students in Zrenjanin, Serbia, held a peaceful protest on March 31, 2025, at the local water supply administrative center, expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of drinking water access in the city for over two decades. The demonstration was classified as low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed and if the water infrastructure issues reflect broader municipal service challenges, second-order effects would depend on whether protests expand or disrupt local economic activity in the Zrenjanin area.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent news coverage to verify the event and scope of water infrastructure problems
• Watch for potential expansion of protests to other Serbian cities with similar utility service issues
