Abstract
The aim of this paper is to answer the question whether the road blockades that took place in Serbia in November and December of 2021 could be characterized as an act of justified civil disobedience. The answer comes from the analysis of the arguably most influental and well-known conception of civil disobedience that can be found in contemporary political theory – the conception that was proposed by the American political philosopher John Rawls. I will argue in support of the thesis that the blockades were an act of justified civil disobedience because they fit the definition of civil disobedience and meet all the conditions for a justified act of civil disobedience that Rawls presented us with.
