All those who lied all day long on the regime televisions that the "colored revolution failed" know very well what happened on Saturday, March 15, in Belgrade: they were given a warning before being expelled
At the moment when this text is written the student protest is over - ahead of time, for security reasons. The organizers once again showed great maturity. And a spectacular security organization.
When it was obvious that some hooded groups, scattered throughout the center, could cause riots, the students in the blockade played music at the end of the rally and asked people to go home. The guards took off their vests, the bikers left the center, the veterans of the 63rd Parachute Division who helped to ensure order and peace dispersed. And the vast majority of people who participated in the demonstration of anti-Vuvučić civil will on March 15, 2025 in Belgrade.
Those who wanted to start a fight could fight with themselves.
A part of the citizens stayed on the streets after that. Mainly on the plateau between the National Assembly and "Ćaciland" in Pionirski Park, surrounded by a double ring, now broken, of tractors, a double row of metal fence and a cordon of the Gendarmerie. It was a human shield in front of the Presidency and a camp ready to cause disorder. There were periodic charkas and name-calling. But, it was no longer the responsibility of the students in the blockade who flawlessly organized the protest.
The regime's messengers, who announced violence and intimidated the people, were again pulling short legs. Did anyone believe them? And the Incompetent did not dare to order the party thugs to try to create chaos. There were too many people on the streets. And perhaps the Minister of the Interior, Ivica Dacic, refused to launch the Gendarmerie against the people.
While the impressions are still settling in, several conclusions can already be drawn after the current climax of the student protests so far.
This was it. the largest meeting in the history of Serbia. The message should have reached Andrić's wreath - Serbia has risen;
The regime televisions had special programs about the "failed attempt at a colored revolution" denying the reality surrounding them. The representatives of the government continue to behave as if this nightmare, which befell them, will pass, that the protests will eventually die down on their own, as they have all done so far, without anything changing in the country;
Some protest participants may have gone home disappointed - there was no catharsis. The resolution of the major crisis in the country is still not in sight. Others, surrounded by the imposing strength and peaceful but unyielding energy that flowed through Belgrade on Saturday, went to rest with a smile on their faces. The fight continues, and the advantage is now on the side of the real "decent Serbia";
Pictures from Belgrade have traveled the world. Aleksandar Vučić can no longer tell stories to anyone about how he holds the state firmly in his hands and makes deals for himself and his companions. Western democracies will start looking around Serbia for a political alternative. Even so, the president of Serbia is getting on their nerves, although they support him all the time for well-known reasons;
This rebellion in Serbia, driven by students, will enter political science textbooks: autochthonous, without any support from the outside, both against the government and at a distance from opposition political organizations, it is attracting more and more citizens with its cheerfulness, enthusiasm and determination. Students have become the strongest political force in the country. The protests continue.
Anyone who condemns the regime's targeting of people from the media, the non-governmental sector, the opposition and universities, must not agree to this targeting of RTS editors and journalists either.
The government of Đur Mazut is "counter-revolutionary", focused on retaliation and state and street violence against opponents of the regime
Depriving Dejan Ilić, an intellectual with an impeccable life and work biography, of his freedom, without the slightest meaningful reason, is just one of the brutal indicators that the regime has turned against its own citizens and is entering a phase of terror
Where Seselj left off, Vucic continues. Why did Ana Grozdanović, a member of the SPS Main Board, deserve the position of Minister of Justice in Dr. Macuta's government? And what the regime wants to achieve with the Stalinist campaign of intimidation
These are the last days when there is a chance that the great rebellion in Serbia will not pass in vain and without a political result. If it goes that way, the regime will launch an even stronger retaliation
