Minister of Internal Affairs Ivica Dacic stated that a "key piece of evidence" was made public, confirming that LRAD was not used at the March 15 gathering in Belgrade. This was verified by the American manufacturer Genasys.
"A key piece of evidence has been revealed, debunking all lies and manipulations and confirming that we have told the truth: the so-called sound cannon was not used at the gathering in Belgrade. This has been confirmed by the American manufacturer Genasys, from which the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased the devices in 2021," Dacic stated in a written announcement, as reported by the Ministry.
Dacic emphasized that Genasys explicitly stated that the video and audio recordings they received do not support the claim that LRAD, or the so-called sound cannon, was used at the March 15 gathering.
"What more is needed to put an end to these lies – other than claiming that even the manufacturers do not know what they produce and sell?" Dacic asked, as cited in the Ministry's statement.
The First Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade has launched an investigation and instructed the police to determine what exactly happened during Saturday’s protest when a loud and unusual sound caused panic, prompting people to run, push, and fall on King Milan Street.
Uncertainty still surrounds the events of the March 15 protest in Belgrade, held in honor of the victims of the tragedy in Novi Sad. Chris Mattmann, data analyst and former chief technology officer at NASA, believes that video footage does not indicate the use of a "sound cannon."
He also noted that the manufacturer's statement and the demonstration of the device, which is used for voice warnings, "do not suit the creators and disseminators of lies." He accused opposition media of deliberately ignoring this information because "it undermines their narrative that the bigger the lie, the more easily it will be accepted."
"This is the end of all deception and lies. The so-called sound cannon was not used on March 15 or at any time by Serbian police – unlike in many other countries, which happen to be sponsors of the protests in Serbia," Dacic asserted.
Genasys posted on X that the video and audio evidence they reviewed did not support the claim that LRAD was used during the March 15 incident in Belgrade.
