At the meeting "United Serbia", which the Serbian Progressive Party held in Užice, about 15.000 citizens gathered, if you ask the official MUP. They made this assessment after the rally and added that about "270 opposition-oriented citizens gathered unannounced on the Small Square in Užice with the intention of entering the declared public gathering, which was prevented by members of the Police Intervention Unit".
However, the Archive of Public Meetings, which has been estimating the number of people at protests and public meetings for decades, has published its own figure. According to the estimate of the Archives of Public Meetings, there were between 3.500 and 4.000 people at the meeting in Uzice.
They explain that the assessment is based on the recordings published on the social media accounts of the Municipal Board of SNS Bajina Bašta and President of SNS Miloš Vučević.
The meeting "United Serbia" that the progressives held in that city were marked by tensions between the local population and the police, which pushed them away from the progressives' rally. The cameras also recorded SNS security beating some citizens.
There were several attacks on journalists in Užice. An RTS cameraman was hit with a stone, a TV Pink crane master was attacked, and TV Nova correspondents were targeted by an SNS deputy as conductors of violence.
