021 reports that Faculty of Dramatic Arts professor Stevan Filipović was beaten in central Belgrade on the evening of 5 August.

SSP members of the voter-register review commission asked the Interior Ministry for data to check whether people who obtained citizenship and voted in the past five years actually live in Serbia, N1 reports. From 2020 to 2025, 133,134 people acquired citizenship. Demographer Vladimir Nikitović says this fits the long-term average and that the number alone cannot establish a targeted political scheme.
At Freedom Square in Novi Sad, the Women for Change activist group held eight minutes of silence for eight women killed in Serbia since the start of the year. The action followed three femicides in the previous ten days; participants called for more effective protection of women and highlighted the circulation of footage of a killing near Bor on social media.
Danas reports that activist Bojan Simišić was held at the border after a work trip and gave a statement as a citizen to the Criminal Police Administration’s counter-terrorism service before being released. It carries Eko straža’s statement that the inquiry concerns claims of a possible sonic-weapon simulation at the 15 March 2025 protest.
The Niš Court of Appeal upheld the Higher Court in Negotin and finally ended proceedings against Radoslav Dragijević. N1 relays a Nova.rs report quoting the court spokesperson: the prosecution’s appeal was dismissed because the courts found insufficient evidence for charges of failing to report a crime and assisting after its commission.
Twenty-one months after 16 people died in the station-canopy collapse, the main trial of six defendants has yet to begin; the indictment was confirmed and house arrest extended. N1 also relays Radar's reporting on correspondence involving presidential-office staff: the correspondence is linked to indictment material, but conclusions about political responsibility remain source assessments rather than a court finding.
