[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 2, 2025, students and citizens conducted a peaceful protest march in Belgrade's Cukarica district, demanding accountability for victims of the Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse. The demonstration was classified as low severity with no reported violence or disruptions.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and if protests expand beyond peaceful demonstrations, broader transportation networks in Serbia could face localized disruptions.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests to other Serbian cities or escalation in tactics beyond peaceful marches
• Track any government response or policy announcements regarding infrastructure safety investigations
• Watch for potential impacts on Belgrade's transport infrastructure if demonstrations grow in scale
