At the protest "We are all Nikolina" in support of student Nikolina Sinđelić, the gathered people walked from the Mostar loop, near the PHI building, all the way to the Government of Serbia. The JZO building was guarded exclusively by female police officers, and it seemed that the youngest of them would cry at any moment.
The women of the Ceraka choir, students and citizens gathered today (Tuesday, August 19) in the park on Mostarska Petlja in Belgrade at the protest "We are all Nikolina", in support of a student at the Faculty of Political Sciences Nikolina Sinđelić, and then went to the headquarters Units for the security of certain persons and facilities (JZO).
Those gathered carry banners "Who protects us from the police", "Violence against women is a crime of the state", "I don't want pepper spray, I want to be protected by the police and the law" and those against the commander of the JZO Mark Kricka, whom Sinđelić claims hit her and threatened her with rape during the detention after the protest in Belgrade.
After she spoke publicly about the violence of the commander of the JZO Krička, intimate photos of this student appeared on social networks. As announced by Students in Blockade, "the distribution of these photos was initiated by Dijana Hrkalović, the former State Secretary of the MUP."
Because of this, Sinđelić announced that she will file criminal charges against Marko Kričko, as well as against Dijana Hrkalović.
Policewomen in the front row
As reported by the "Vremena" reporter, several policewomen were stationed in the first row in front of the JZO building. According to our reporter, it seemed that the youngest of them would cry at any moment.
Ah, what a pathetic and wretched move, you threaten a woman with rape as a man in uniform, and when there is a protest and when
angry people come to demand responsibility, you put female colleagues in the foreground.
And women in uniform are protectors of the system.
And you all need to be held accountable.
And you should be ashamed of everything. Although for… pic.twitter.com/uHkJLkjnlD- Female solidarity (@ZSolidarnost) August 19, 2025
Although both women and men at the protest are visibly shaken, most of them say they are not afraid. One of the interlocutors stated that five days ago a policeman hit her with a baton at a protest, but that she was even more surprised when she heard about Nikolina's story, because it is a step further.
After gathering in front of the JZO, the demonstrators headed towards the Government of Serbia.

Professor FPN: Nikolina is traumatized, the dean talked to her for several hours
Aleksandra Krstić, a professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences, told "Vreme" that the police's treatment of Nikolina Sinđelić can be defined as the most brutal violence.
"That is not the way any woman or other citizen of a democratic country is treated. I think the police overstepped all their powers, and they must be held accountable for that. It is known how to act if you suspect a criminal offense, it is known what the process is according to the law and the Constitution of this country. Nikolina is traumatized, just like all of us," Krstić pointed out.
According to her, the way Nikolina had to go out to the media was retraumatization, it had a very bad effect on everyone.
"I am here to support Nikola, and to call on the Prime Minister of this country, Đura Matsut, to take measures and steps so that the people who committed such violence against Nikola are prosecuted. This must be stopped. I did not speak with Nikola personally, but Dean Maja Kovačević did."
He notes that the Administration of the Faculty of Political Sciences provided full support to Nikolina, that she spoke publicly afterwards, and that Kovačević spent several hours talking to Nikolina Sinđelić.
