Serbia Seems To Relent On Coronavirus Curfew After Violence Erupts In Belgrade

The curfew in Serbia appears to have ended before it could even begin.


Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić suggested Wednesday that the country would "probably" not reinstate a curfew this weekend, less than a day after its announcement led to bloodshed in the capital. The country's health ministry clarified that officials have yet to make a final decision, even as new cases have surged.


Demonstrators gathered overnight in Belgrade to protest the coronavirus-prevention measure, some clashing with police outside parliament and even trying to storm the building.


Dozens of people were injured in the violence, which Vučić blamed primarily on "right-wing and pro-fascist demonstrators." He also said the Serbian government has evidence — without presenting any — that foreign intelligence officials were goading on the violence in an effort to destabilize Serbia.

the coronavirus-prevention measure

More likely "coronavirus promotion measure."

Reducing the hours that people are gathering together per day would naturally increase the number of people per hour who are not at home. The curfew would have reduced the hours from 24 hours to 15. Similar mindless policies, in government and business, exist all over the USA
