Novinar HRT-a iz Beograda javio je da su žandarmerija i interventna policija blokirali ulicu oko RIK-a te da su prolaznici pokušali potjerati njegovu ekipu, dok su oko njih bili prisutni maskirani mladići. Studenti u blokadi pozvali su građane da se ne okupljaju u blizini mjesta s pojačanim prisustvom policije, a izbore je, prema CESID-u, obilježila rekordna izlaznost od skoro 65 posto do 18 sati.
