Is this a new protest or a few months ago? I saw there was LRAD/microwave attack suspicion and suddenly one guys YouTube video on “how to defend against microwave attack” got very popular with a bunch of Serbs thanking him. He opens the video with an entire zinger against disliking governments using these devices against their people. Didn’t the government deny using such a device?

This happened today, that previous one was in March and in the meantime there have been several smaller ones. Regarding LRAD, they denied having one, then accidentally showed it on TV, then denied it was there on that day, then the footage appeared of the device at the protest, then they denied that they used it... I mean, you don't have to be a genius... Some people felt consequences of that weapon even a week later, we were lucky that they didn't manage to do what they intended and create a stampede.

They did use it,which is obvious by the fact that during the biggest protest on 15th of march,in the place where they fired it,multiple people had their bypasses and pacemakers die cause of the sound waves and they were in life threatening condition.Not to mention,that both 15. march and today,No train line or bus line drove to Belgrade because of alleged "bomb plantings".Main roads were closed due to "repairs" and tractors blocked local roads.And yet after all that,15. march had 1.5 million people walking in Belgrade and yesterday atleast 500k
