We must continue to fight in the streets

"It is our duty to insist that the topic of the canopy fall in Novi Sad remains current so that it does not end up like 'Ribnikar' and Dubona and Malo Orašje, and many other tragedies. If we don't manage to find those responsible, I'm afraid to think what the next tragedy could be... It seems to me that the more time passes, the tragedies become bigger and bigger, and that if it becomes everyday, we won't react anymore... And where will that red line be then?"

Life is about letting go of fear

"The fact that I went out on the street again as a sign of support for young people who do not want to live in this kind of society, awakens in me faith that these young people, with their way of acting in opposition, will drive this current government into opposition"

The announcement of a new world

As in Gaza, miles away, where the war that has sparked the largest student protests in America since 1968 is raging, it is currently unclear where whose territory is. Although the authorities of academic institutions have regained control of the universities, luck is extremely elusive in these circumstances, academics have been attacked by various uniformed figures around the world, but students have not lost a single battle so far, especially not in democratic states based on freedom of speech and assembly.

Protests and leaders: Students, protesters, politicians and others

It can be said that the history of multi-party Serbia is also the history of street protests, and that in almost all times of dramatic democratic deficit, there was a not so small number of citizens who were ready to go out into the streets to fight for political rights and protest against the abuse of power.
