Saturday, March 15 - the day when representatives of the Serbian Government predict "great violence", while protesting students say it is the moment when "Serbia should be in Belgrade, in the most massive rally ever".

The students emphasize that they are not violent and do not call for violence, REL writes.

They have been blocking state universities since December and leading peaceful protests across Serbia.

Their main demand is political and criminal responsibility for the deaths of 15 people from the collapse of a shelter at the Novi Sad Railway Station on November 1st of last year.

Now, they are announcing a large rally in Belgrade. And this rally has become a topic of discussion several times among representatives of the Government in Serbia.

In one of his recent speeches, President Aleksandar Vuçiq warned of "violence" and "arrests."

Without providing any evidence or details, he said he expects "the opposition to organize major violence on March 15" and that "all those who participate in it will be arrested."

Professor at the Faculty of Political Science in Belgrade, Bojan Vranić, says that "it is not the first time that the president of Serbia has predicted violence at certain events."

"It is not unusual to guess exactly what will happen. Therefore, this prediction should be taken very seriously," Vranic tells Radio Free Europe.

The Office of the President of Serbia did not respond to REL's question about what information it bases its claims on. Vuçiq such claims and predictions.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there were riots. I can't claim that they would be artificially provoked, because, unfortunately, the perpetrators [of the riots during the protests] have not been discovered so far. Even if they have been discovered, in general, we haven't had any situation in which we could discover the motives," says Vranić.

Protests in Serbia began after the collapse of a shelter at the Novi Sad Railway Station on November 1. In this incident, 15 people lost their lives and two others were seriously injured.
