Gli studenti serbi stanno scadendo da Novi Sad, in Serbia a Bruxelles, per consegnare le nostre richieste ai rappresentanti dell’UE e per aumentare la consapevolezza della nostra lotta. 16 corridori saranno oltre 1900 km nei prossimi 18 giorni. La democrazia sarà difesa!

That’s not just symbolic, that’s 1900km of pure courage. Whatever your politics, this is what peaceful resistance looks like in motion.

On the 1st of November 2024, at 11:52am, a canopy of the station in Novi Sad, Serbia, collapsed, **killing 16 people**, merely 3 months after it was renovated. Blame fell on corruption, nepotism and neglect of the ruling regime.

As a sign of protest, silence spoke – citizens started blocking the streets in silence for 16 minutes to commemorate the 16 victims of the collapse. During one of those blockades, on the 22nd of November, students of the Faculty of Drama Arts in Belgrade were attacked by the members of the ruling party. Instead of the attackers, police arrested the students.

In the following days, a wave of student blockades spread through Serbia. Students blocked their universities, delaying lectures, exams and graduations indefinitely, demanding justice for their arrested colleagues, as well as for the victims of the tragedy, wishing for no one else to fall victim of another sign of neglect of the Government. The whole higher education in Serbia came to a halt.

Citizens soon followed. Farmers, actors, programmers, teachers, high school students and many more joined in solidarity. Massive protests were organised across Serbia in Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, Novi Pazar and Belgrade, the biggest ones this country has ever seen. Hundreds of smaller protests in more than 500 cities, towns and villages across the country showed no sign of slowing down. Students organised marches through the country, walking for hundreds of kilometres in total, visiting villages & towns, talking to people, being welcomed as liberators. It wasn’t just a student protest anymore. **Serbia is under a civilian rebellion, its biggest one in 200 years.**

Support came from all over the world, wherever you can find a sign of Serbian diaspora. Gatherings and protests took place in support for the protests.

15th of March in Belgrade was marked with the biggest protest in Serbian history, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, marking 12% of the total population of the country. During the minutes of silence, the Government used an acoustic device, causing panic and fear amongst the peaceful protesters, endangering the lives of many. They decline that any weapon was used that day, but recording and independent research proves otherwise.

Exhausting their efforts in the country, Serbian students set off to a an almost 2000km ultra-marathon from Novi Sad to Brussels. Protests are reaching new levels. And they’re still not done. Government is still trying to suppress the protests, using fear, blackmail, counter-protests and violence. And they won’t stop. Neither will us. We need your support.

Phahaha “Demands”?

Democracy shall be defended*

*Unless it’s for Albanian minority in Serbia or Albanians in the Republic of Kosovo

Nothing will happen. Let me explain why.

When Greece denied the harsh decisions of Germany, banks closed and was ready to be expelled from EU. At present time many of Varoufakis’ ideas are being adopted by his ideological opponents.

When judicial system doesn’t work well in Greece but the loans are being paid back or banks have made a cartel, then Greece is the best member of EU.

Eu only cares about money!!!
