What does the MEP say?
"What the students from Serbia are doing is worthy of praise. The perseverance, determination and courage they show is something we should all admire and should be a role model for," MEP Irena Joveva told N1.
She added that the pressure exerted by students is very important.
"It shows that Serbia has a place in the EU, but not with an autocratic or a regime that chooses militarism. We saw where the president of Serbia was two days ago, and you see where the students are now - here, they chose their better and better future and here they are in Brussels, in the heart of the European Union," the MEP concluded.

On April 25, the students set off from Novi Sad on a journey of about 2.000 kilometers, which lasted 18 days.
The students-ultramarathoners were met last night at the penultimate stop to Brussels, in Liège, by several dozen people, although at first no welcome was organized in this city.
As there is not much of the Serbian diaspora there, the students running to Brussels were told that they would not be met in Liège. However, the Serbian diaspora managed to organize itself, and the runners arrived at the square across the red carpet and with shouts.
