[Serbia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Students and citizens in Nis, Serbia held a peaceful 16-minute silence on April 1, 2025, as part of the "Serbia, Stop" campaign demanding accountability for victims of a station canopy collapse incident. The protest appears to be part of ongoing civil demonstrations with low severity impact.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and localized scope in Nis, immediate supply chain disruptions appear minimal unless the protests expand significantly or turn disruptive.

Watch points

• Monitor whether the "Serbia, Stop" campaign spreads to other Serbian cities or escalates beyond peaceful demonstrations
• Track any government response that could affect broader civil order or economic activity in the region
