Tijana Radonjic video: 19-year old Serbian teen model dies parasailing after falling from 50m
The victim, identified as Tijana Radonjic, was on holiday with relatives when she accepted a parasailing ride offered on the beach.
She later fell more than 160 feet (approximately 50 metres) into the Adriatic Sea after reportedly panicking mid-air.
Footage released by Montenegrin outlet Republikka shows Radonjic visibly distressed, struggling with her life jacket and frantically attempting to remove her safety restraints.

Moments later, she successfully unbuckled her waist harness, wriggled free, and plummeted from the sky.
Witnesses said they heard her scream, 'Put me down!' before the fall. Her body was recovered from the sea shortly after.
It remains unclear what prompted her actions. Local reports suggest the young woman may have experienced a panic attack while airborne.
Mirko Krdzic, owner of the parasailing company involved, told local media that Radonjic did not display signs of distress beforehand.
'We are all in shock after the accident that happened … I do not know exactly what happened,' he said. 'She did not show any fear of flying. She underwent training after which the tragedy followed.'
Authorities have launched an investigation. Technical inspections of the equipment are under way, and officials are awaiting autopsy results.

Serbian police clash with protesters demanding snap polls
Listen to article Serbian police on Saturday evening clashed with anti-government protesters demanding snap elections and an end to the 12-year rule of President Aleksandar Vucic. Police deployed scores of officers in riot gear around government buildings, parliament and nearby Pionirski Park, where throngs of Vucic's backers from across the country gathered in a counter-protest. After the protest ended at around 10 p.m. (2000 GMT), some protesters who wanted to confront Vucic's backers threw bottles, rocks and flares at the police, who used force to disperse them in several locations across Belgrade's city centre. The protesters shouted: "Keep the shields down," calling on the police to stop intervening. Police detained several dozen protesters, while six police officers were reported injured in clashes, Dragan Vasiljevic, the director of police, told a press conference late on Saturday. Vucic said protesters attempted to topple the state. "They (protesters) wanted to topple Serbia, and they have failed," he wrote on his Instagram page. In a statement, students accused the government of an escalation of tensions. "They (authorities) ... opted for violence and repression against the people. Every radicalisation of the situation is their responsibility," students wrote on the X social network. In a statement, Ivica Dacic, the interior minister, said police will act to maintain public order. "The police will take all measures to establish public order and peace, ... and apply all its powers to repel attacks, and arrest all those who attacked the police," Dacic said. Months of protests across the country, including university shutdowns, have rattled Vucic, a populist, whose second term ends in 2027, when there are also parliamentary elections scheduled. Vucic's opponents accuse him and his allies of ties to organised crime, violence against rivals and curbing media freedoms, something they deny. The protesters, who want the government to heed their demands by the end of the protest, have pledged non-violence. Vucic has previously refused snap elections. His Progressive Party-led coalition holds 156 of 250 parliamentary seats. Earlier on Saturday, Vucic said unspecified "foreign powers" were behind the protest. He said police should be restrained, but warned that violence will not be tolerated. 'The country will be defended, and thugs will face justice,' he told reporters in Belgrade. Sladjana Lojanovic, 37, a farmer from the town of Sid in the north, said she came to support students. "The institutions have been usurped and ... there is a lot of corruption. Elections are the solution, but I don't think he (Vucic) will want to go peacefully," she told Reuters. In the days ahead of the protest, police arrested about a dozen anti-government activists, charging them with undermining the constitution and terrorism. All denied the charges. The Belgrade rally coincides with St. Vitus Day, venerated by most Serbs, which marks the 1389 Battle of Kosovo with Ottoman Turks.

Thousands protest in Belgrade against Serbian president
Listen to article Tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of Belgrade on Saturday, joining what has become one of the largest anti-government protests in Serbia in recent years. Organised by university students, the rally aimed to hold President Aleksandar Vucic accountable for corruption, negligence, and the tragic roof collapse at a train station in Novi Sad in November 2024, which killed 15 people. Police reported that the crowd reached 107,000 people at its peak, with independent Serbian media estimating even higher numbers. Despite intermittent rain, the protesters filled the streets, waving flags and chanting slogans, demanding justice for the victims of the Novi Sad tragedy. The protest, dubbed '15 for 15,' marked both the date of the rally and the number of lives lost in the incident. The protest has grown out of a series of student-led demonstrations that began in December following the disaster. Many blame the collapse on government corruption and lax safety regulations in the construction industry, with the government's failure to act seen as a symbol of broader systemic issues. The rally, while peaceful, was marred by sporadic incidents, including clashes between protesters and police. Saturday's gathering was a culmination of months of activism, with protesters calling for the resignation of government officials and an end to corruption. "We came for justice. I hope that after this protest, things will change," said Milica Stojanovic, a biology student at the University of Belgrade. In response to the protests, Vucic had repeatedly warned of potential unrest and the possibility of arrests, accusing Western intelligence services of orchestrating the protests. However, he provided no evidence to support these claims. Throughout the day, tensions rose as groups of Vucic's supporters, including members of notorious paramilitary units, set up camp near government buildings, adding to the already charged atmosphere. Despite these challenges, the students and their supporters remained resolute. "This is not the end, but the beginning of the end," said Dejan Simic, a protester. "This movement is for a more democratic Serbia, where corruption is no longer tolerated." Police deployed hundreds of officers, and the city's public transport was suspended to prevent more people from reaching the protest. As protesters gathered, violence erupted in some areas, with a car ramming into a group of demonstrators in the Zarkovo suburb, injuring three people. Additionally, there were reports of attacks on student activists in central Belgrade. However, the majority of the protesters continued their march to the National Assembly, where they held a moment of silence for the victims of the Novi Sad collapse at exactly 11:52 a.m., the time of the tragedy. Many farmers, veterans, and other supporters joined the rally in solidarity, underscoring the widespread anger across Serbian society. As the protest unfolded, Vucic continued to stand firm, rejecting calls for a transitional government or early elections. "I am not going to be pressured," he declared in a televised address. "I will not let the streets set the rules in this country." He also warned of a "final" confrontation, suggesting that Saturday's rally could be a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle between the government and its critics. The protest on Saturday, while large and significant, is expected to be just one chapter in an ongoing struggle for greater accountability and reform in Serbia. As the protests continue, the future of the government and Vucic's presidency hangs in the balance, with citizens demanding an end to corruption and a more transparent, democratic system.
