[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 10, 2025, teachers, students, and citizens held a peaceful protest in Novi Sad, Serbia, opposing the recommencement of the school year and calling for the resignation of the local gymnasium director. The demonstration appears to be part of ongoing education-sector tensions in the region.

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 typically remain localized and have minimal direct impact on commercial supply chains, though sustained civil unrest could potentially affect regional logistics if it spreads beyond the education sector.

Watch points

• Monitor whether protests expand beyond the education sector or spread to other Serbian cities
• Track any government response that could indicate broader social tensions
• Watch for potential disruption to local transportation networks if demonstrations grow in scale
