Otpora

Otpora is a term that can refer to more than one topic and does not have a single, universally agreed definition in English. In discussions where it appears as a proper noun, it is often associated with the Serbian activist movement Otpor! or with linguistic usage derived from the root otpor meaning resistance.

The most documented use is as a variant of Otpor!, a movement founded in Belgrade around 1998 that promoted nonviolent resistance to authoritarian rule. The group employed training, symbolic actions, and media campaigns to mobilize citizens and influence political change; its strategic approach is widely cited in studies of nonviolent resistance and has influenced later protest movements around the world.

Linguistically, otpor is the Serbo-Croatian word for "resistance." The form otpora, when encountered, is typically a morphological variant or a transliteration artifact rather than a distinct term with a separate meaning.

Because otpora may appear in different contexts—historical, linguistic, or fictional—the exact meaning depends on the source. Readers seeking a precise definition should consult the specific text or source in question.
