Serbian officers arrested for using ‘excessive force’ against protesters
Nine active Serbian police officers and one former officer were arrested for allegedly using excessive force and torturing detainees in a Belgrade government compound garage in August 2025, the Interior Ministry said Wednesday. The arrests follow anticorruption protests sparked by the November 2024 Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse that killed 16 people and led to former President Aleksandar Vucic's electoral defeat in October.
