The citizens are protesting because they want to recall the event on March 15 and to demand an answer from the authorities about what happened that evening. At the protest in front of RTS, a petition was signed by educators and citizens asking the Ministry to suspend disciplinary procedures at the "Vožd Karađorđe" Elementary School in Belgrade, the "Svetozar Miletić" Gymnasium and Vocational School in Srbobran, and the "Stevan Mokranjac" Secondary School in Požarevac.
Protest columns of citizens from several parts of Belgrade headed towards Cvetni trg for a protest on the occasion of one month since the event that many they believe that it represents an attack by the authorities on citizens with a sound cannon.
Citizens of the Old Town gather near the Rectorate building, citizens of the Sava Valley gather at the corner of Nemanjina and Resavska. They changed the original plan and went to Takovska, in front of the RTS building.
With this protest, the citizens want to remind of the event on March 15 and to demand an answer from the authorities about what happened that evening.
"For a month now, citizens have been without answers and responsibility for what happened on March 15 during peaceful protests when citizens were clearly attacked and threatened," said Irena, a citizen attending this protest.
She explained that the citizens of these three municipalities talked, and that the three assemblies decided to "demand responsibility on behalf of their municipalities and from their municipalities."
"One month later, we have waited enough, and too much. We should not wait any longer, we should demand answers," she said.
