[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 9, 2025, teachers, students, and citizens held a peaceful protest at a gymnasium in Novi Sad, Serbia, opposing the resumption of the school year and expressing solidarity with ongoing educational blockades. The event is classified as low severity with no accompanying news coverage.

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 disrupt local economic activity if they expand beyond school facilities, but current impact appears limited to the education sector.

Watch points

• Expansion of protests beyond educational institutions to include other public services or infrastructure
• Duration and scale of any continuing blockades that could affect local business operations in Novi Sad
