"Appreciating the seriousness, nature and manner of committing the criminal offense, i.e. that the defendants are reasonably suspected of having conspired and planned to commit the criminal offense for which they are suspected in this proceeding during the protest under the slogan '15 for 15' in Belgrade, and that it is a well-known fact that the protests of students and other citizens have been going on since the beginning of November 2024, continuously, and they are still going on, that is, such protests are held almost every day, the panel found that all the above-mentioned circumstances indicate a well-founded fear that the defendants, if they were released, could repeat the criminal offense in a short period of time".

There is, literally, no difference between the one who claims it is day in the middle of the night, or the one who claims to be a giraffe, from the claims we read on billboards: that Vučić is working to unify Serbs and that Serbia is doing better and better day by day.
