In more than 200 locations on Saturday, meetings of progressives in support of the people of Kosovo and Metohija and against blockades will be held. It has nothing to do with the fact that at the moment those who SNS brings to those rallies are practically the only ones blocking the streets in Serbia
As announced by the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, on Saturday October 11 at more than 200 locations across the country, rallies will be held in support of people on Kosovo and Metohija, the day before local elections which are held in Kosovo. And, of course, against the blockades of students and citizens who oppose the regime.
Center for Social Stability, the official organizer of "Citizens Against Blockades" has published a list of locations where rallies will be held, which have been held every weekend since the end of August. From the beginning, the Serbian Progressive Party has denied being behind the organization of these gatherings, and numerous representatives of the government appear at them week after week.
The gatherings will start at 5, i.e. at 5:30 p.m., according to the Center for Social Stability.
Both the students in the blockade and the citizens' assemblies in certain places announced the gathering on the same day.
The students state that they want to provide support to colleagues from the University of Prishtina based in Kosovska Mitrovica and compatriots from Kosovo and Metohija.
Among the more than 200 locations where "Citizens Against Blockades" meetings will be held in Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Niš, Vranje, Leskovac, Mali Iđoš, Smederevo, Velika Plana, Žitorađa, Zrenjanin, Paraćin, Donji Milanovac, Zaječar, Bor, Novi Pazar, Sjenica, Jagodina, Kraljevo, Užice, Čačak...
There will be no "Citizens Against Blockades" gathering in Belgrade this Saturday.
The President of Serbia stated that the gathering for the first time will not only be a message to "stop the blockades", but also a sign of solidarity and support for the people of Kosovo and Metohija, where local elections are being held on October 12.
Some collaborators and authors of the Center for Social Stability are also members of SNS and have important functions in the government system. Among the collaborators, for example Nemanja Starović, the current Minister for European Integration, who in the previous convocation of the Government of Serbia headed the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veterans and Social Affairs.
The Center for Social Stability has created a series of propaganda films targeting the politically unfit.
In Novi Sad, meetings of the progressives, or officially the Center for Social Stability, will be organized at three locations: in Vojvode Stepe Boulevard, Evrope Boulevard and in Sremska Kamenica.
The Citizens' Assembly of Novi Sad announced that it will on the same day in nearby locations to hold counter rallies - in New Settlement, Detelinara and in Sremska Kamenica, transmitted by 021.
"If you are an uncle you can plagiarize your diploma and become the minister of finance, minister of police, grow a ton of marijuana because it is legalized in Germany, and we all know that Serbia is its colony. If you are an uncle you can beat citizens because your boss will pardon you. If you are an uncle you can kill sixteen people and get away with imaginary diseases, while political prisoners rot in prison. If you are an uncle and participate in corruption, you can laugh while you watch pulling out the murdered from under the canopy.
Several gatherings have been organized in Novi Sad, in Futog, Veternik, Petrovaradin, Klisa, and the details will be published later, writes 021.
The united assemblies of citizens of Kragujevac called for a protest in front of Sokolana in the Stara radnička kolonija neighborhood on Saturday at 15:30 p.m., and as reported by the Glas Šumadije portal, those who are in favor of blocking the blockades will gather at the same place at 17 p.m.
"Enough of silence and lies! They watched Sokolana collapse for 13 years - now they 'remembered'? Now they bring people in buses to play support? Bring a whistle, a trumpet, a drum. See you, to remind them who is the host and who came on a mission. They are not welcome. Everyone in front of Sokolana", the United Choirs of Kragujevac call.
Students in the blockade announced for Saturday, October 11 in Belgrade, a gathering of support for colleagues from the University of Prishtina with headquarters in Kosovska Mitrovica and compatriots from Kosovo and Metohija.

They announced on Instagram that the meeting will begin at 14 p.m. at the Faculty of Law, and then a walk is planned to the Office of the Government of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija, which is located in the Palace of Serbia in New Belgrade.
As they stated in the announcement, the current authorities left the people of Kosovo and Metohija without support and help, "except when their pain is used for the purposes of media and election propaganda, clearly ignoring the fact that helping its citizens is their moral and legal obligation."

Should the names of the candidates for the student list be published before the students themselves do it, is a difficult journalistic dilemma on which we currently do not have a consensus as an editorial staff.
Three incidents in seven days in Croatia brought back to the fore the topic of Ustaste and the relationship of the Croatian state towards the Serbian minority. What do they say in Serbia?
Students of several Belgrade faculties and the General Staff Ensemble initiative held a protest in front of the General Staff building, with the message that they will "defend this symbol of Belgrade with their bodies" if the government does not abandon plans to demolish it. Those present made a "ring" around this building, and drew a red line around it, over which those who plan to demolish this cultural property - crossing is forbidden
This regime seems to have created a new job - the designer of mischief for the sake of making life as miserable as possible for people who support the protests
Despite physical exhaustion, Diana Hrka, the mother of the victim Stefan, continues her hunger strike in front of Ćaciland. He says that he will not stop the protest and accuses the institutions of not doing their job and lying to the citizens.
Who among us has ever looked at all 250 names of parliamentary candidates on the list for which they want to vote? Although it is not stated anywhere, it is clear that the student list will be a buffet. If it matters to anyone, they have my vote, even if I don't like 249 names
Aleksandar Vučić is carrying out an unannounced coup d'état. It's for nothing. He has no defense against the demand for justice. Because how can he look into the eyes of a mother who is on hunger strike, calm the people on the streets and silence the schoolchildren who are shouting on the excursion - "Pump!"
Aleksandar Vučić thinks he is traveling to Brussels on Tuesday as the President of the Republic of Serbia, but he is actually leaving as the President of Ćaciland. That's what he reduced himself to, only he's still not aware of it
