**LDP Leader Questioned Over Sonic Weapon Statement**
The leader of the Liberal Democrat Party (LDP), Cedomir Jovanovic, was recently questioned by police over his statements on live TV about the use of sonic weapons against protesters in Belgrade. This incident has raised concerns about the government’s handling of public demonstrations and the protection of citizens’ rights.
According to reports, Jovanovic appeared on a Tanjug TV talk show where he claimed that a sound cannon was used during the mass protest in Belgrade on March 15. He also alleged that 200 armed men were allowed into the Serbian parliament building, allegedly preparing to attack the protesters. These statements sparked widespread debate and attention from authorities.
Jovanovic took to Instagram to announce that he had been summoned for questioning by the police Internal Affairs Service. In a post, he revealed that he received a text message stating that the police only wanted to have a conversation with him. He claimed that they were prepared to take his statement regarding the circumstances surrounding his Tanjug TV appearance.
The video of Jovanovic speaking on Tanjug TV ended abruptly, with him asking when the show would start and seemingly unaware that he was live on air at the time. This sudden cut-off has led many to speculate about the true intentions behind Jovanovic’s questioning by the police.
**What does this mean for democracy in Serbia?**
The incident has sparked concerns among civil society groups and opposition parties, who see it as an attempt to silence dissenting voices. The use of sonic weapons against protesters is a highly sensitive issue, and Jovanovic’s statements have put pressure on the government to provide transparency about its handling of public demonstrations.
As the situation unfolds, it will be essential for authorities to demonstrate that they are committed to protecting citizens’ rights and promoting free speech. Any attempts to stifle opposition voices or silence critics could undermine trust in the democratic process and erode confidence in institutions.
