Students from numerous places in Serbia arrived in Belgrade, on foot and by bicycle, to the protest held on Saturday, March 15. A reception was arranged for them in the capital
Students of most Belgrade faculties and numerous citizens welcomed student cyclists and walkers who walked and biked to the capital for several days to participate in the Saturday protest.
Cyclists were the first to cross the red carpet that was laid on Terazije, shortly after 19.30:XNUMX p.m. They were welcomed with fireworks, and they also received medals.

The same route, around 22 p.m., was also followed by students from Nis who, led by a "tamic", walked 193 kilometers from the Manasi monastery in the vicinity of Despotovac to Belgrade in six days.

A column of students from Vršac, led by a tractor, arrived at Terazije after them.
A little before 23 p.m., students marching from Novi Sad and Subotica also arrived.
They were followed by students from western and central Serbia arriving at Terazije, followed by the last group of students from Kragujevac.
Central Belgrade streets around Terazije and from Terazije to Slavija were blocked for traffic.
Red Cross tents and student units of medics have been set up on Trg Republike where help will be provided to students who will need it after several days of walking to Belgrade.
Students from Niš, Jagodina, Kragujevac, Čačak, Užice, Loznica, Subotica, and Novi Sad went to the capital of Serbia on foot and by bicycle.

Although some collectives have decided that classes in Belgrade high schools will start again from Tuesday, the students are not giving up on the blockades. The President of the Forum of Belgrade Grammar Schools, Ana Dmitrijević, says that teachers will enter the classrooms tomorrow - but most likely in empty ones.
RTS employees gathered in the "Our Protest" initiative demand the immediate publication of the names of the responsible editors who make decisions about the content of the program during the blockade of the building. They are also looking for an answer to the question - why is the majority of the editorial staff completely excluded from work?
In the previous days, an account with the name Đura Matsuta appeared on social networks. The order is fake, the Government announced, because the new Prime Minister of Serbia does not have one. Is that to be praised or condemned, given his political function
The list of government threats to students in the blockade is only expanding - criminal charges, accusations of violence, violation of the law, mistreatment of women... But they receive nothing, RTS does not work normally, and the police do not react. Is it proof of the state's impotence?
Anyone who condemns the regime's targeting of people from the media, the non-governmental sector, the opposition and universities, must not agree to this targeting of RTS editors and journalists either.
Depriving Dejan Ilić, an intellectual with an impeccable life and work biography, of his freedom, without the slightest meaningful reason, is just one of the brutal indicators that the regime has turned against its own citizens and is entering a phase of terror
