Recently, a choir was founded in Belgrade queer of the community, which functions according to the others civic assemblies i student movement, practicing direct democracy and plenum organization.
So far, 10 meetings of the queer choir have been organized and the organization is developing, said one of its representatives, Iris.
She stated that the queer choir functions locally in Belgrade, but that the idea is to expand to the whole of Serbia.
"The choir is a forum for queer people gathered in a specific geographic area. By being a forum, we allow to have some collective attitudes, networking, to one day develop a specific support network," said Iris.
At the meeting organized on Friday (October 25) in Belgrade, she said that fascism is seriously growing all over the world.
"Regression is happening in the political field, and the queer population is the first to be hit," said Iris and expressed her fear that the United States of America is moving towards the abolition of gay marriage.
Is the student movement moving to the right?
Iris also said that the student movement is moving to the right and that it is upending the right-wing population.
The representative of the United branch unions "Nezavisnost" and journalist Nataša Kovačev stated that the student protest went to the right after June 28 and turned away some who supported it. However, we must not forget student demands, because they are too important, Nataša Kovačev said.
"Some told me - I was with the students with my heart and soul, but this is no longer my story," said Nataša Kovačev, noting that the student movement is huge and has different ideological positions.
"The key is in their demands. When they are heard, when the institutions start doing their job, then we can start building a fairer society," said Nataša Kovačev.
Could anyone have imagined a queer choir a year ago?
A student at the Faculty of Philosophy, Isidora Aćimov, stated that the student movement has the potential for the emancipation of society and asked if a year ago anyone could have imagined that there would be a queer choir.
"Who would have thought that the entire movement would be organized using direct democracy, that every person, every student would have their own voice, role, place and be able to engage," said Isidora Acimov.
She asked who would have thought a year ago that there would be a movement like the student movement, where there is no face, no leader, no one who can compromise and buy.
Isidora Aćimov assessed that the solution lies in the transfer of power from institutions to citizens.
"That's what the student movement is trying to do. Until the citizens have power in their hands, the system will be subject to corruption," concluded Isuidora Acimov.
