Serbia protest has little to do with global geopolitical issues.
Population is simply fed up with local corruption regardless of the political affiliation.
This sentiment is at the moment rather unique.

OK... So what are they trying to accomplish?
Good question for which I also had difficulty to find answer.
Many different ideas about it I came across, but those were nothing new and at least to me it was obvious that those reasons alone could not bring such mass of people together.
In my opinion this was protest of the famous "silent majority" that got fed up.
Perhaps it is percussor of things to come in many other places?
It is very likely that many people who went to the protests got fed up. We all are, more or less. But I believe some use or try to use these kind of protests to their advantage, with (or without, more likely) the knowledge of most of the participants. It happens all the time, unfortunately.
It is possible. That's one reason why I used that title for the post.
