According to various media reports, opposition activists initially appeared disguised as students—albeit without valid enrollment. They allegedly embedded themselves among genuine student demonstrators but quickly took to the streets rather than classrooms.
The reports say that these activists soon embraced the role of “plenum organizers,” attempting to establish informal decision-making bodies within educational institutions—moves that commentators described as illegitimate and unacceptable.
When this tactic lost momentum, activists reportedly pivoted to organizing “citizens’ assemblies” in neighborhoods and municipalities. Their stated aim was to create localized forums for public discussion and decision-making, which critics argue served primarily to pressure elected officials through populist demands.
Media claim this strategy also failed to gain traction.
Protest organizers, referred to as “blockers,” also staged rave parties on bridges, which media outlets characterized as insensitive to national tragedies and motivated solely by political ambition.
The latest phase, dubbed the “container revolution,” involves the use of dumpsters as barricades to disrupt traffic, further frustrating the public, according to reports.
“Roles may shift and styles may change, but the cast remains the same,” one outlet stated. “Their ultimate goal is to halt Serbia’s development. But the public sees through the performance and trusts reality—not the script the blockers are pushing.”
