A Serbian law professor, Tanasije Marinković, has alleged the government is waging a “hybrid war” against its own citizens regarding the controversial “sound cannon” case. Speaking to N1, Marinković criticized the actions of state institutions, suggesting a perceived loss of control by those in power. He implies the government is employing manipulative tactics, potentially involving acoustic methods, to maintain authority. The “sound cannon” refers to a device reportedly used during protests, raising concerns about surveillance and potential psychological manipulation. Marinković’s statements indicate a deepening distrust between the government and segments of the population. He believes the state’s response to the situation reveals a broader strategy of control and suppression of dissent. Further details regarding the specific actions of the institutions were not provided in the initial report.
