Serbia under pressure: Protests against violence and Vucics government intensify!

The political situation in Serbia continues to come to a head: The Serbian ambassador in Vienna, Marko Blagojević, has levied violent allegations against the SPÖ member of the MEP Andreas Schieder, who supports the mass protests in Serbia. Blagojević accused Schieder to roughly interfere in the internal affairs of the country and added that he supported the calls to violence from protesters. Schieder, who had already criticized grievances in Serbia as an EU election observed, vehemently rejected the allegations and emphasized the importance of the protest movement for the future of the country. These protests, triggered by two amotlets in May, who demanded 18 lives, can now hardly be ignored in their intensity and tenth to the streets for the tenth time, such as Tagesschau.de.

The demonstrations in Belgrade and other cities are directed against President Aleksandar Vucic and the media controlled by him, which are supposed to create a climate of fear and violence. In the recent protests, thousands gathered in front of the parliament to demand Vucic's resignation. The police were also given a march for solidarity that was involved in the detection of a drug plantation - a case that brought the brother Vucics into a possible conflict. Despite a lower number of participants, which is attributed to the vacation time, the organizers expect the protests to be gained again in September. Blagojević ignores the latent criticism and realizes that all the students' demands have already been met and that a comprehensive fight against corruption is in progress, while Schieder insists on the need for a democratic turn in Serbia. Despite the tensions, the support of the European Social Democrats for the Serbian demonstrators remains unbroken.
