Polarization Grows

"Serbia against Violence", Belgrade, May 8 2023 (BETAPHOTO\Milos Miskov)

The moves that political actors in Serbia made after two mass murders in the country have led to even more polarization and tensions between the government and opposition. The pro-European opposition is accusing the government of being the key generator of violence in society and organized a mass protest which elicited more brutal attacks by the government and announcements of a counter protest rally of sorts on May 26.
