We are receiving repeated warnings that people linked to Aleksandar Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) may be mobilised to provoke confrontations at around 9 pm tonight, as the first election projections emerge. The students want free, peaceful elections and a result decided at the ballot box. The higher the turnout, the greater Vučić’s fear of defeat — and the greater the risk of deliberate provocations. Vučić and his government have allowed a climate of intimidation and violence to grow. They bear full political responsibility for preventing any further escalation. If SNS-linked groups are deployed to trigger clashes, Vučić must be held accountable. We demand immediate police protection for voters, candidates, students and observers. Serbia’s future must be decided by votes, never by violence.
