From article:
>The anti-corruption protest movement that had remained entirely peaceful in Serbia [for nearly nine months](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2025/06/28/serbian-riot-police-fire-tear-gas-at-anti-government-protesters-demanding-an-early-election_6742816_4.html) has begun to turn violent, **triggered by provocations from hooligans sent by the government onto the streets to confront opponents**.
This is very important to understand.
Government-sponsored hooligans started beating peaceful protesters and firing pyrotechnics at us from behind the backs of police officers, which provoked protesters to respond.
There are hundreds of videos showing this.

„Turned violent?“ Government sponsored gangs of Goons with weapons are attacking peaceful protestors as police stand by and watch, protestors are beaten bloody in police custody, and the protestors have „Turned violent?“
The organized criminal group posing as Governement turned publicly violent*
What on earth should anyone expect from a regime that views itself as a Russia mini-me.
For good reason. Fuck the government and ACAB
Good,good. Knowing how the Serbian Government responds they’ll probably become more violent against the protesters,someone will die and it will become a martyr.
If i was Kosovo and the full-on civil war starts inside Serbia,i would legitimately send some troops inside Serbia and literally wipe the floor with the blood of Serbian soldiers thus opening a second frontline for Vucic and send the Country into a probable breakup: no more intolerant Serbia against Kosovo and everyone’s happy

I love the phrasing. You can always count on the west to always be there by your side, right? Serbians are being beaten, gassed and assaulted into submission but I guess Parisians in their safe offices, in their safe country, with no violent dictatorship in sight, know better.
No revolution is peaceful, figures like gandhi have been manipulated by the ruling power to give hope in „non-violent protest“.
If you don’t fight, they will beat you, oppress you and take everything from you
Serbs are tired of their government. Good luck Serbians, best you topple this regime.
They ignore your pleas for justice for almost a year, and beat you for peacefully protesting like a pack of bloodthirsty psychos, treating you worse than the worst felons. And then someone is surprised when the protesters resort to violence?
„In Serbia, the people are fighting back against government oppression and violence.“

How tables have turned…Techniques tried and tested on Kosovo, Bosnia and Croatia are now being perfected on Serbs. Most of Serbia cheered sacking of Vukovar and siege of Bihać. Told Bosnian and Croat Serbs they are their brother. But now Bosnian and Croatian Serbs are beating the shit out of natives. Boomerang came back and oh boy, he brought violence
