[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Hotel industry students conducted a peaceful protest in Belgrade's Rakovica district on April 1, 2025, opposing a decision to restart the academic year and participating in the broader "Serbia, Stop" campaign with 16 minutes of silence. The demonstration appears limited in scope and severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The localized nature of this student protest suggests minimal immediate disruption to regional supply chains, though broader participation in the "Serbia, Stop" campaign could signal wider social tensions if the movement expands.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of the "Serbia, Stop" campaign beyond student groups into broader civil society or labor sectors
• Track any expansion of protests to key industrial or transport hubs in Belgrade or other Serbian cities
