Students in the blockade they published on their accounts on social networks the Memorandum of Kosovo and Metohija, which, as they stated, is "an expression of a unified will."
They pointed out that the memorandum serves as a reminder that their fight for Kosovo and Metohija is "at the same time a fight for our image, our culture and our future in the family of equal peoples of the world".
The post was published on the Students in Blockade account on IX:
"We, the students of Serbia, gathered in Kragujevac, the first capital of modern Serbia and the center of Serbian state-building thought, aware of our personal and collective responsibility and historical debt to our ancestors and descendants, have adopted this Memorandum as an expression of a united will.
1. Kosovo and Metohija are an inalienable and integral part of the Republic of Serbia.
This fact is not only a constitutional category, but a historical and moral imperative that is not subject to negotiation on substance.
Preservation of the constitutional order of Serbia in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija is the foundation of the survival of the Serbian state and a pledge of just peace in the region.
2. Kosovo and Metohija are not just a place, they are a component of the Serbian national identity.
As the city where modern Serbian statehood was founded, Kragujevac has the duty to be the custodian of the sacred values that originated in Kosovo and Metohija, not only on the blood-soaked battlefield, but also on the spiritual horizon from which the Prizren churches, Peć chapels, spa gold and columns of the Gračan vaults illuminate us even today.
Without Kosovo and Metohija, our cultural and historical code loses its source and meaning.
3. As a mature and historical nation, we are aware that the issue of Kosovo and Metohija cannot be resolved in isolation, but exclusively within the complex flows of the international community.
Serbia must work actively and constructively with all relevant international organizations, recognizing them as indispensable partners in finding the most adequate and sustainable solution within the framework of its Constitution.
Our goal is a model that, with consistent respect for international law, will ensure peace, security and full protection of rights for the people living in this territory.
4. The issue of Kosovo and Metohija concerns every citizen of this country.
Our connection with the southern province does not derive exclusively from the status of passport holders of the Republic of Serbia, but rather from the essential status of being part of Serbian history and culture.
Each individual, as a bearer of collective memory, has the duty to contribute to the preservation of this spiritual and cultural heritage, which goes beyond the boundaries of administrative documents.
This Memorandum serves as a reminder that our struggle for Kosovo and Metohija is at the same time a struggle for our image, our culture and our future in the family of equal peoples of the world.
From this place, from the heart of Šumadija, we say that the preservation of Kosovo and Metohija is the common denominator of all our efforts."
