Students in Cacak and Gornji Milanovac Say Cars Follow Them

Students of the Faculty of Technical Sciences (FTN) in Cacak and a self-organized group of students from Gornji Milanovac said on October 15, 2026, each in its own statement, that unknown people in cars have followed them during student campaigns over the past several days. The statements give neither the license plates of the vehicles nor the identity of the drivers.

Both groups ask the competent authorities to react urgently and act in accordance with the law. The students from Gornji Milanovac link the surveillance to the upcoming elections, while the Cacak students do not speculate about the cause in their text.

What do the Cacak students say?

According to the FTN students’ statement, two Skoda cars followed them during the “Student in Every Village” campaign. They claim that unknown persons photographed the license plates of their vehicles in a parking lot, and that the same people were also seen near premises the students use.

What worries them most is the following of their female colleagues. In the statement, the Cacak students wrote:

“What is particularly worrying is that our female colleagues have been followed by the same cars late in the evening as well”

Their statement does not say whether the following was reported to the police.

Gornji Milanovac: a BMW behind a female colleague

The self-organized group from Gornji Milanovac describes a different vehicle, a BMW, which they say followed them during campaigns over the past several days. They say they reported this case to the police.

The students say the same car drove directly behind a female colleague who lives outside the town several times at night, with its high beams on. They also say the vehicle once stood parked in front of that student’s family home:

“On one occasion that car was parked in front of our colleague’s family home, with a driver inside the vehicle, and it was also spotted in front of our premises”

The Gornji Milanovac group does not claim to know who is behind the vehicle, but draws its own conclusion about the reason. In the statement they said:

“Although we do not know who is behind this, it is clear that this is an attempt at intimidation, meant to divert our attention from organizing and preparing for the upcoming elections”

They added that they are not afraid.

Has anyone responded on behalf of the authorities?

The available media reports on these statements contain no response from the police or other competent authorities. For now, it remains open who is in the vehicles and whether the police took any action on the report from Gornji Milanovac.

Two groups of students in two different towns describe a similar pattern: unknown vehicles appearing where their campaigns take place and where their female colleagues stay. The statements are independent of each other, and each rests on what the students themselves noticed, not on verified information about who owns the vehicles.
