Radic summoned for computer forensics and explains his sound-cannon account
After the June 22 searches, Aleksandar Radic told N1 he had been summoned to military police for forensic examination of seized computers, and later explained that he links his conclusion about sound-weapon use on March 15 to Faraday material and an umbrella that, he says, people from Ćacilend were carrying. Danas carried lawyer Stefan Corda's account of three VJT prosecutors, questioning over media appearances, and no elements of a crime, as well as Beta editor Vojkan Kostic's interview describing his UKP summons as media intimidation; Kurir carries Ana Brnabic's statement that the 'sound cannon' story was a pre-planned lie against Aleksandar Vucic.

Radic says he was summoned to military police for forensics on computers seized during searches
N1 reports that Aleksandar Radic received a summons from a military police officer for forensic examination of computers police seized during the June 22 searches; Radic said he would attend with lawyer Stefan Corda. He claims the Military Security Agency and its director Djuro Jovanic are behind the events, linking this to his criticism of the army's condition and leadership since 2018. N1 recalls VJT's June 22 statement: the search was carried out on a preliminary-proceedings judge's order over Radic's statements in the 'sound cannon' case; lawyer Corda earlier said the searches ended around 21:00, police inspected devices in detail, including some of his daughter's computers, and prosecutors did not seek detention.
FBD warns the new wave of VJT activity must not be seen only as individual repression
N1 carries the Forum for Security and Democracy statement: the organization says the new wave of Belgrade VJT activity should not be seen only as individual 'manifestations of repression,' including the action targeting Aleksandar Radic. FBD links this line to prosecutorial announcements about collecting information against people allegedly involved in spreading disinformation about 'sound cannon' use on March 15, 2025. The forum describes the events as a dangerous phase of state repression and a propaganda campaign against groups and individuals connected with student and citizen protests.
Brnabic: The public knew there was no sound cannon
N1 carries Ana Brnabic's statement on TV Pink: she claims the public knew allegations of 'sound cannon' use at the March 15, 2025 Belgrade protest were false, and says the new information is the version that the story had been 'planned a month and a half before the rally.' N1 recalls that VJT announced on June 22 it would prosecute everyone found to have prepared, organized, carried out, and then spread the same narrative about alleged device use; students in blockade reject this as a lie and a diversion from the question of what happened on March 15. N1 also repeats the chronology: police first denied having LRAD 450XL devices, then said they were in storage, while Danas earlier reported they were mounted on police vehicles on Belgrade streets.
Radic explains how he concluded a sound cannon was used
N1 publishes Aleksandar Radic's explanation: he says he worked in US police, knows how a 'sound cannon' functions and what effects it has, and saw Faraday material in a US store before March 15, which he says protects against low-frequency sound waves. Radic claims that on March 15 he spoke with people going to Ćacilend who carried an umbrella marked Faraday; in his version, this was one reason he concluded that a sound weapon was used at the protest. In the same interview, he says the Interior Ministry had already publicly acknowledged possessing LRAD 450XL, links the current case to the Military Security Agency and director Djuro Jovanic, and says the authorities are taking revenge over the compromised 'sound cannon' topic.
Aleksandar Radic's lawyer: This is a campaign, there are no elements of a crime
Danas reports lawyer Stefan Corda's statement: three VJT prosecutors rotated during the search of Aleksandar Radic's apartment, and Radic was questioned, among other things, about media appearances and statements on the 'sound cannon.' Corda said Radic is being linked to preparation of an attack on the constitutional order and security of the Republic of Serbia, but he sees it as a 'campaign' and says there are no elements of a crime. According to him, forensic work on seized computers is being carried out on June 23: devices are removed from special packaging, content is identified and copied to another medium; military police are involved because of sensitive material Radic possesses.
Beta editor: The UKP summons looks like media intimidation
Danas carries N1's interview with Beta editor-in-chief Vojkan Kostic: he was summoned to police because he had Aleksandar Radic's phone while he was with Radic when the apartment search began. Kostic says he offered to accompany Radic, saw pro-government media reports while on the trolleybus, and Radic gave him the phone in the elevator so someone could answer journalists; he handed the phone to police when asked, and two to three hours later received a UKP summons. In his view, officers behaved correctly, but the wider action warns media and analysts not to handle topics important to the public and serves as intimidation or a 'media cover' for cases such as Senjak.
Paunovic: No grounds for an investigation into alleged simulation of sound-cannon use
Danas, citing Beta, reports former VJT prosecutor Jasmina Paunovic's assessment: in her view, there is no basis to open an investigation against students and citizens over an alleged simulation of 'sound cannon' use on March 15, 2025. She says there is no separate crime of 'sound cannon simulation' and that it is unacceptable to tie the case to students and around 3,000 citizens whom doctors diagnosed with injuries. Paunovic also said the search and bringing in of Aleksandar Radic represent the 'materialization' of this line through intimidation, while Belgrade VJT earlier said it would prosecute everyone found to have prepared, organized, carried out and spread the narrative about alleged device use.
Ana Brnabic on the sound cannon: It was a pre-planned lie
Kurir carries Ana Brnabic's pro-government framing from TV Pink's morning program: she said the 'sound cannon lie' had been planned at least a month and a half before the March 15 protest and that the goal was an attack on President Aleksandar Vucic. Brnabic claims the opposition and 'blockaders' wanted to present Vucic as someone who 'shoots his people in the back' and to deepen social division; according to her, the 'sound cannon' version entered three European Parliament resolutions without evidence. Kurir also writes that plenum documents allegedly contained minutes of a meeting where simulation of device use was planned.
