# Car attacks on students and citizens at blockades

Category: Violence against citizens  
Period: from 11 Aug 2024  

This pattern tracks cases in which, from August 2024 to August 2026, drivers drove their cars into students and citizens who were blocking streets, paying tribute to the victims of the Novi Sad canopy collapse or marching in protest. President Aleksandar Vučić said that those demanding the arrest of the driver from Požarevac „are not in their right mind“. Of the 17 cases, not one has ended in a verdict: on 27 September 2026, Vučić pardoned, freeing them from criminal prosecution, the driver at the Faculty of Law, the four men in the „Porsche“ near the Futoška market and, according to Insajder, the driver who hit Sonja Ponjavić in Ruzveltova Street.

## Cars at blockades and marches

From August 2024 to August 2026, drivers drove their cars into students and citizens who were blocking streets, paying tribute to the victims of the canopy collapse in Novi Sad or marching in protest: from the motorway in New Belgrade and Požarevac, through Belgrade and Novi Sad, to Novi Pazar, Bačka Palanka and Kupinovo. Of the 17 cases, not one has ended in a verdict.

## Reactions from the authorities and Informer

On 1 December 2024 President Aleksandar Vučić said that those calling for the arrest of the driver from Požarevac “are not in their right mind”. After the Ruzveltova Street incident he called the protests illegal and urged organisers to tell the police where they would be gathering. Minister Ivica Dačić called for respect of the Law on Public Assembly.

Informer editor-in-chief Dragan J. Vučićević called the driver at the Faculty of Law a “victim” and called the prosecutors a gang.

## Sonja Ponjavić in Roosevelt Street

The driver who hit student Sonja Ponjavić in Ruzveltova Street was on trial for attempted aggravated murder; closing arguments were made on 29 October 2026, and the verdict had been scheduled for 6 November.

The Higher Court in Belgrade announced on 2 November that Vučić had already exempted the defendant from criminal prosecution on 27 September; according to Insajder, the defendant is the driver from Ruzveltova Street. On 3 November the court lifted his detention, and prosecutor Dragan Danilović appealed and proposed that the case files be examined by the Prosecutor's Office for Organised Crime. On 6 November, Sonja Ponjavić's lawyer filed a constitutional appeal against the pardon with the Constitutional Court, and instead of delivering a verdict, the judge reopened the main hearing and allegedly sent the case files to that prosecutor's office.

## Pardoned without trial

Vučić released the four men from the “Porsche” near Futog Market, whose trial had been postponed six times, from prosecution on the same day, the Higher Court in Novi Sad announced on 2 November. Lawyers for one of the injured reportedly asked the Constitutional Court on 4 November to annul the pardons, and the trial was postponed. Vučić also pardoned the driver who struck student Kristina Vasiljević on Jurija Gagarina Street, so there was no trial; that case has its own page.

In July, the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade indicted the driver who struck a 90-year-old man near the Faculty of Law in May 2026 for a serious criminal offence against public safety, but Vučić released him from criminal prosecution as well, by a decision of 27 September, the Basic Court in Belgrade announced on 3 November 2026.

## Other cases with no outcome

According to Večernje novosti, the prosecution downgraded the charge against the driver from Palmotićeva Street to causing general danger. In six cases the drivers were detained, remanded in custody or reported to the authorities, but no outcome was found; in six there is no data that the driver was prosecuted, among them the driver who hit activist Marija Srdić with his car in Novi Sad.

In Novi Sad in January 2025, a man who pepper-sprayed the driver of a BMW that drove into students was given a suspended sentence, while no proceedings against that driver were found.

## Attacks on protesters

By February 2025 CINS had recorded 64 attacks of all kinds on protesters, with a separate category for “car ramming”; there is no total for car attacks alone. According to the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, criminal proceedings had been launched against 41 people over attacks on students and professors by 30 January 2025.
