Please be aware that Serbia had months of protests because a poorly built cement overhang fell and killed a bunch of people in Novi Sad in 2024. Corruption leading to death triggered huge protests admit a while huge range of things people were already pissed about.

Jarred's hotel deal just perpetuates the same corruption issues.
Feels to me like they're protesting their own government more than Trump & Co. But of course, both can be true.
Very much so, this is all about the government and corruption.
Of course I want people responsible for deaths to be held accountable, not allow the country to cross a dangerous threshold where people can be killed willy-nilly.
Would love it if Trump could just keel over too, but that's a bit much to ask for.
If they protest their government catering to Trump & Co., that'll be enough. They can't directly influence US politics anyway, so focusing on their own is reasonable.
