Roma Academic Circle warns of misinformation spreading fear

The Roma Academic Circle has issued a warning regarding the spread of unverified videos and information intended to incite fear within the Roma community. The organization reports that social media content is falsely alleging organized attacks and violence by student protesters and their supporters against Roma settlements.

An analysis of the materials by the organization suggests that certain videos, originally filmed on election day, actually document confrontations involving individuals attempting to record people suspected of vote-buying, rather than organized attacks on the Roma community. The group also addressed claims regarding Dr. Ilija Srdanović, a student list bearer, noting that videos involving him appear to be presented out of context to fuel ethnic tensions.

The Roma Academic Circle has called upon the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the relevant public prosecutor's office to investigate the origins and dissemination of this content to prevent further social instability.
