"For the past 72 hours, students have been blockading Serbia’s state-owned public broadcaster (RTS). This morning, they greeted the arrival of the Serbian police by singing the Imperial March"

"Vučić has made his regime a trailblazer for modern European rightwing revanchism, the primary driver of regional instability, a hub for Russian and Chinese influence and disruption, and a magnetic pole for modern far-right ethnonationalism and genocidal ideation."

Why is the EU ignoring Serbia's student protests?
The policy posture from Brussels remains on autopilot, effectively siding with Serbia's authoritarian president Aleksandar Vučić against the student-led protesters, while continuing 'happy talk' about the enlargement process.

a moment of silence to honor the victims of tragedy in novi sad

these months of student-led protests across serbia have been truly cathartic. shame and resentment of the recent past, anger and apathy, precarity, helplessness, as if all of it transformed and fuelled a new hope
novi sad, january 31, 2025. video by serbian green–left front
tonight's gathering point is in front of the train station in novi sad, the site of the tragedy. the station is in the background
tomorrow marks three months since corruption and the arrogance of power claimed 15 lives in the northern city of novi sad. tonight, students from across serbia are gathering there. citizens have lined the streets to welcome them, and local students prepared beds for them to rest.
you can contact the students directly, they are the crux of it all

notably on x: @sviublokade_fdu and @studentblokade
having full and accurate information about a country is crucial for a local OSCE mission

serbia does not have a presidential system; in fact, the role of the president is largely ceremonial. while the incumbent has indeed grabbed all power, we shouldn't legitimize such overreach

It is remarkable that for all the edgelord shit they still talk in these euphemisms. It’s so incredibly cowardly. Also Italy was famously unified in the 19th century after being conquered and reconquered, italian is the opposite of a timeless ethnic identity bsky.app/profile/thes...

a massive 24-hour sit-in about to begin in belgrade
traffic cameras stills:
trump's "special envoy for special missions" gave his two gaslighting cents yesterday on protests in serbia. the irony is rich

* nb: every documented instance of violence has been perpetrated by police/secret services or pro-government thugs whose prosecution is now one of the students' demands

Da vas podsjetim i pozovem na vožnju Umetnobilom. Kroz svijet korupcije, partijskih poslušnika, ljudskih prava, Jugoslavije, vozi vas Den Kupekovski uz društvo @danlikov.bsky.social. Prihod od prodaje karata za vožnju, odnosno knjiga, kao i slobodne donacije idu studentima u blokadama.
