"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.
Student gathering in Belgrade
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."
