The Spin

Government-critical narrative

The peaceful rally in Belgrade only turned violent after provocateurs linked to the Vučić regime gave police a pretext to crack down on protesters in a disproportionate and brutal response designed to intimidate the opposition. It will backfire, though, as nonviolent resistance will continue.

N1

Pro-government narrative

The so-called demonstrators are terrorists acting on behalf of opposition leaders who have called for civil war and attacks against police in their illegitimate power-grab attempt, so the violence seen over the weekend was widely expected. Thanks to the brave police officers, the gravest consequences have been averted, and Serbia has emerged victorious.
