La Serbia ha visto enormi proteste da 160 giorni, ma non sono stati raggiunti risultati tangibili. Le proteste sono persino efficaci nel causare cambiamenti di regime?

Yes. Look at history.

Like Maidan or like “let’s sing against dictator?”

160 days is a long time. However, many big changes needed even more. Stay strong Serbia!

Govt knows they can’t be that violent with clashing down and are betting it will blow over eventually 

A counter question. If protests are useless, why are the regimes so frantically trying to prevent them and using gangsters and violence against them instead of just letting them having a go at it?

What If everyone just stopped working, and just raided stores for food?

What are they going to do, lock everyone up, let them live for free?

Many dictatorships lasted decades worth of protests before they fell, so that alone is no reason to give up. However, dictatorships have also been exchanging best (read worst) practices on how to weather popular discontent, and one of the ways they do it is by waiting until people get tired. This is something that protesters always have to keep in mind.

We actually really need the CIA ofold to collapse such regimes illegally clinging to life much faster. Unfortunately, the CIA is an American government institution that’s currently under the power of a maniac who doesn’t care about democracy, while the EU is too friendly to make such an undertaking. Ultimately, it’s not fair that whenever democratization comes closer, such regimes simply weather through protests and/or downright repress all opposition, whereas established democracies sit while internal forces (often using external help) turn people towards autocratic beliefs. We have to be a lot more muscular and vigorous in defending freedoms around the world.

We’ve seen plenty of protests turn into revolutions in recent years. I think the issue here might be that while a certain portion of Serbian society is protesting another equal if not a larger portion is made up of committed regime supporters.

Make it effective please or we are fked – a hungarian

No one has died yet on either side as the results of the protests, so no, not really

No tangible results?

Government fell and the new one looks like it wont make it past June

People have been released from fear, started standing up to corrupt sheriffs and criminals

160 days of continuous energy, largest gathering in country’s history.

Reconciliation with various minorities which are actively particpating and supporting students

President losing a lot of power and status he’s had, he cant even go public out of fear of beeing hit by an egg

One big point is that people have lost all respect for Russia and EU, people who used to be EU leaning are no longer and same goes for far right which is mostly criticizing Putin now.

These effects are gonna be much more long lasting and will bring more effect to the country than if the President resigned immediately

peaceful protests only work when politicians are in charge that actually care about their people…. or they have to care about being reelected i don’t think this is the case in serbia rn

That title smells like gaslighting.

For as long as humans have existed there has been only one cost for freedom.

I hate to say it but cardboard signs, fireworks/flares and marching/chanting is not the cost of freedom.

Protesters need to escalate if they want to see changes. Start occupying governmental buildings. Or at least permanently surrounding them. Tents and long term structures near the protest areas with volunteers sharing food and places to sleep. Just sharing what was done during Maidan in Ukraine 2013-2104. Government decided to ignore the protests, so it is either escalation, or people will tire out. That is an actual tactic for this kind of regimes. Or you pray and wait until next election and hope it won’t be rigged to much.

sadly they may have to copy the ukranians to get results
