N1 and 021 report that inspectors blocked a screening of the documentary 'Tour to Strasbourg' in the pedestrian zone of central Sremski Karlovci. Police and workers from the Belilo utility company were on site; according to Suzana Stojakovic of Zbor Sremski Karlovci, a student gathering and screening had been planned in the center, but the film was ultimately shown inside the assembly's premises, while a 'studenti pobeđuju' banner was unfurled near the Patriarchate court.

021 writes that the film screening was blocked in the pedestrian zone of central Sremski Karlovci.

Overall takeaway

This is no longer just an announced student screening but a local public-space dispute in which the ban did not stop the event outright, only push it out of the town center.

What this means for residents

For the local agenda

The episode turned a local cultural event into a dispute over who controls public space in central Karlovci and how.

For student-linked events

Even after the ban, organizers found a way to preserve the program, making similar relocations more likely than outright cancellation in future cases.
