Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade (BETAPHOTO/Ana Slovic)
Speaking for Nova S TV on Sept. 13, the head of the Belgrade Center for Human Rights’ legal team, Vladica Ilic, dismissed the analysis published by Belgrade’s Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office whereby the mass injuries that occurred during the March 15, 2025 anti-regime rally at the capital’s Slavija square were not the result of the deployment of a sonic weapon but rather of “chain-reaction crowd movement caused by panic.”
Highlighting that the analysis, published on the Prosecutor’s Office website, lacks official authorship, Ilic explained that the unsigned document’s logic is rife with inconsistencies and contradictions.
Among others, Ilic labeled as untrue the report’s claim that the entire situation “upset” the international community as well, “which had also invested its resources” into determining whether a sonic weapon had been deployed.
“Only the Russian Federal Security Service [worked on the case]. Our authorities, for instance, didn’t allow, didn’t give permission to the U.N. commissioner for human rights to conduct a mission to determine the facts,” Ilic explained.
Commenting on President Aleksandar Vucic’s public statements that have hinted at him knowing public prosecutor office decisions before they were made or published, Ilic said this unequivocally indicates that the president of state has been privy to information before he should have had access to it.
