[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 2, 2025, students, parents, and teachers conducted peaceful protests in front of schools in Nis, Serbia, opposing the resumption of the school year and supporting ongoing student blockades. The low-severity demonstration reflects education sector tensions but lacks broader news corroboration.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Educational protests in Serbia's second-largest city could potentially disrupt local economic activity if demonstrations expand, but current scope appears limited to the education sector.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests beyond Nis to other Serbian cities or escalation in protest intensity
• Track whether education sector disruptions spread to broader civil unrest that could affect regional transportation networks
