The Serbian Prime Minister in resignation, Milos Vucevic, announced that he had officially requested investigations from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) regarding the potential use of a sonic weapon during the March 15 protests in Belgrade.
Speaking to Serbian TV Pink, Vucevic confirmed that the requests were sent through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and respective embassies in Washington and Moscow, asking for independent investigations into whether or not a sonic cannon or similar device was used during the protest.
“I can state with the utmost responsibility that no sonic weapon or similar device was used at any location on March 15. No orders were issued for its use, and no one saw such a device. It’s impossible not to have health injuries when such a device is used, as it causes immediate consequences,” Vucevic said.
Earlier, the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed that Ivica Dacic, the country’s interior minister, had sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, requesting assistance in analyzing the potential use of sonic weapons during the protest. This request followed public and media allegations that members of the police had used a “sonic cannon” during the rally.
Dacic further clarified that the Serbian police do possess sonic weapons, which were purchased in 2021 but have not been put into operational use. These weapons are stored in secure containers and are not mounted on any vehicles or systems.
High-ranking Serbian officials had previously denied accusations from the international NGO “Earshot,” which analyzed videos and audio from the protests. They claimed to have identified a sound consistent with the Vortex Ring Gun, a sonic weapon, during the protest, which caused panic among the crowd. Currently, there is no official information explaining the cause of the crowd’s reaction.
