Taxi drivers of SOS Taxi and students organized a commemorative gathering of taxi drivers who died in traffic accident, which happened in Jevrejska street in Novi Sad.
Around 8:30 p.m., citizens blocked the intersection near the Futoška market.
After the blockade at the Futoška market, the gathered people, led by taxi drivers of SOS taxi, went along Jevrejska street to the place where their colleague tragically died.
They lit candles at that place, and laid a banner that reads "'So what still kills'."
Arrested arrogant driver
Members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Novi Sad arrested Andrija S. (25) from Belgrade, due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that he committed a serious crime against public traffic safety.
As reported by the Novi Sad Police Department, Andrija S. is accused of causing a traffic accident in which a taxi driver (53) was killed, while three people were seriously injured and one was slightly injured.
He was detained for up to 48 hours and will be brought to the competent public prosecutor with a criminal report.
According to the media, Andrija S. is the owner of two companies. One is located in Vračar and deals with the sale of vape cigarettes, and the other deals with the construction of residential buildings in Čukarica.
A 53-year-old SOS taxi driver was killed when his vehicle was hit by a BMW driver who crossed into the opposite lane.
Is the suspect in the accident a blocker?
Although this tragic traffic accident has absolutely nothing to do with students, protests and last year's canopy fall, the day after the traffic accident in Novi Sad, the regime media, as if on command, announced the "knowledge" that a "blockader" had been arrested.
Namely, in most of the regime media, a joint photo of Andrija S. with Luka and Lazar Stojaković, students who were active in the past year in student protests throughout Serbia, was published.
Because of that photo, the suspect Andrija S. was also called a blockader, although there is no evidence for it, and the pro-government media, regardless of this fact, asked the question: "Why did the blockaders lose their compass about reality and why do they think they are unreachable"? Thus, Luka and Lazar Stojaković, although they did not participate in the traffic accident in Novi Sad, were presented as persons very close to the suspect in the serious accident.
In addition, because of the watches that the Stojaković brothers wear, the regime's favorite media called them the "Rolex brothers", so now they have "more guilt".
By the way, from Lazar Stojaković, a fourth-year student of the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, who was active in the first part of last year in the protests, the Plenum of his home faculty at one time distanced itself, so even Stojaković does not belong to the students whom the regime and the media close to him call blockers.
A billboard for your BMW?
Some media also speculated on the information that the suspect Abdriija S. rented a billboard in May 2022 in order to publicly congratulate his car on his birthday.
He is reportedly "known for his bizarre obsession with the car he was driving at the time of the accident." That's why, as it is assumed, he rented a billboard that read: "From thunder to chrome, happy birthday, my beautiful thunder."
