Marinika Tepic, vice-president of the opposition SSP party, became involved in a heated argument with a neighbor over a parking space, according to media reports. While SSP officials initially claimed the incident was politically motivated and directly blamed Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, subsequent evidence suggests it was an ordinary neighborhood dispute.
Media outlets report that SSP representatives falsely alleged Tepic was attacked by a “Vucic loyalist” and that the president himself was responsible. Video footage of the incident, however, clearly shows the confrontation stemmed solely from the parking space disagreement, with no apparent political connection.
This marks another instance where opposition figures have been accused of exaggerating or fabricating claims against the government for political gain. The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Serbia’s ruling party and opposition groups, though this particular case appears unrelated to broader political conflicts.
Analysts note such claims risk undermining legitimate criticism of the government when verifiable facts contradict the narrative. The parking dispute resolution remains unresolved between the involved parties.
