On September 1, 2025, the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade issued a demonstration alert regarding planned protests and gatherings throughout Serbia. The embassy warned that these events could cause major disruptions to traffic across the country.
The demonstrations are scheduled to take place in front of schools and at city intersections between 11:52 a.m. and 12:08 p.m. The gatherings are being held to mark the ten-month anniversary of a tragedy that occurred in Novi Sad. In addition, student-led protest walks are expected to begin at 6:30 p.m. in central Belgrade, with participants starting to gather an hour earlier. The embassy also noted that protests may continue in Belgrade and other parts of Serbia over the following days.
The embassy advised people to monitor local media for updates, avoid crowds, keep a low profile, remain aware of their surroundings, and review personal security plans.
For assistance, the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade provided contact information including a 24-hour phone line and email address for American citizens seeking help or further information about the situation.
