In less than 24 hours, 71.000 dollars were collected to help trucker Milomir Jaćimović.
On the gofundme.com platform, the diaspora is raising money for a trucker who was arrested on Tuesday together with his son, after he tried to set himself on fire in protest of the problems his company was facing, all because of support for students.
The transporter Jaćimović is known to the public for driving students to protests, and because of that he is still suffering the consequences. Last week, he was again the target of thugs, who first punctured his bus tires and then broke his windshield on the day of the protest in Belgrade, where he was supposed to drive his fellow citizens. Also, he received numerous fines.
Students in the blockade of the faculties of Novi Sad on Tuesday publicly thanked and supported the trucking company Milomir Jaćimović, who busted together with his son, and after he tried to commit suicide because of the problems in which his company found itself.

For months, Milomir Jaćimović transported students to protests, free of charge.
"When no one wanted to drive, he said, 'Get in, kids, let's go.'" When we were faced with roadblocks, rain and police zones - Milomir was waiting for us," the students wrote.
"When they slashed his tires, when he was threatened by an anonymous voice on the other side of the wire, when they took off his license plates and stopped his vehicle - he didn't pull over. He didn't give up. He kept driving," the students say.
They told him that he must never harm himself - "not because of them".
The students emphasized that no man who stood with the students should be left alone and that no person should pay a personal price for a struggle that is collective.
They announced the account number to which citizens can pay donations and help the trucker Jaćimović.
Milomir Jaćimović's account number is 340-1000182103-17, 12 Kralja Petra prvigo, Đurđevo.
"We are on this exam together. And we will finish it together," say the students blocking the faculty in Novi Sad.

Truck driver Milomir Jaćimović and his son were detained on Tuesday in front of the premises of the Serbian Progressive Party on the Boulevard of Liberation in Novi Sad.
Jaćimović intended to commit suicide by self-immolation in front of the SNS premises after his son was taken into custody.
Soon, the intervention unit of the police arrived and responded, broke the windows of the car Jaćimović was in, and he was taken into custody.
Milomir's son was detained because he pasted posters on SNS premises with photos of policemen who obstructed Jaćimović in his work and stopped him on the road while he was transporting students.
Jaćimović transported students to protests and his buses were vandalized several times, and he has been suffering other consequences for a long time.
Justice must never again depend on who is in power, because it applies to both "ours" and "theirs". The winners fought for it. Other affairs can wait, even if it is foreign policy - Europe is here, it will not run away
All this is the logical cause of Vučić's hysterical reaction to the mention of regulating the local media space. A mild attack on Prva and Informer televisions led to protests by "loyalists"
When "Because I say so" or "Because Freud says it differently" becomes a sufficient argument, it destroys in one fell swoop everything that has been worked on for several centuries: the importance of verification based on objective and rational parameters, respect for different points of view, a culture of dialogue, basic equality between people, replacing dogma with doubt and free research
The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade ordered the collection of information on reported abuses. We are looking for documentation from Partizan and the Football Association of Serbia, as well as checking whether the entire agreed amount has been paid to the club.
At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
