[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Students staged a peaceful protest on April 1, 2025, at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences in Belgrade, Serbia, demonstrating against violence directed toward the academic community following an earlier incident during a Novi Sad commemoration where a colleague was nearly struck by a vehicle.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether protests spread to affect broader economic activity or transportation networks in the Belgrade area.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of student protests to other universities or cities across Serbia
• Watch for any escalation that could disrupt transportation or economic activity in Belgrade's Vozdovac district
