- summary
- Serbian state-aligned tabloid Kurir published coordinated content amplifying President Vučić's claims that the March 2025 'sonic weapon' incident against protesters was a fabricated 'colour revolution' operation planned by the student movement. The prosecution announced that documents seized during a search of the Faculty of Philosophy reveal a January 2025 student security working group meeting allegedly planning to simulate sonic weapon use to provoke civil war and a violent overthrow of constitutional order.

- Criminal investigation framing protest organizers as plotting violent change of constitutional order; prosecution narrative placed on record; documents seized from university working group.
- notes
- This fits the established Serbian doctrine of converting accountability crises into evidence of foreign-backed plots, now matured into prosecutorial action against named student structures. The new element is the use of seized university documents to build a criminal 'violent overthrow of constitutional order' case against the protest movement's organizational infrastructure.
- trigger type
- Prosecution announcement of new findings derived from documentation seized during a search of the Faculty of Philosophy, reframing the protest-era sonic weapon accountability claim as a student-orchestrated plot. — Accountability crisis — the March 15 sonic weapon incident demanding state accountability
