Thousands of people in the large demonstration of students in Serbia – Diepresse.com
Students have been protesting in Serbia for 96 days. The next large protest is called for March 15th.
The student protests in Serbia, which have been ongoing for 96 days, have reached their previous highlight in Niš in Southern Serb. Not only thousands of students from all parts of the country gathered there. Numerous citizens who traveled also supported the student protest. According to media reports, the city center was not only overrun by demonstrators. According to the TV broadcaster N1, these were practically to be hit in every street.
It was impossible to determine how many people arrived. However, around 4,000 students who had been walking to Niš for days had already arrived on Friday evening. Their number is likely to exceed expectations because the city dwellers were still asked in the evening to donate blankets and sleeping bags for students who were housed in a sports hall. Today's protest rally should last until Sunday at 3:00 a.m.
In the meantime, the appointment for the next major rally has already been published. On March 15, students who keep all state universities under blockade want to meet in Belgrade.
Accident in November triggered protests
On November 1, the reason for the protests delivered the collapse of the station vordach in Novi Sad when 15 people were killed. The building had previously been renovated and was only reopened in the summer of 2024. Students, and not only them, attribute the accident to corruption and require justice for the victims or the functioning of the judicial authorities. (APA)
