Belgrade: A minute of silence for the victims of the "Storm" and a visit to officials
The people of Belgrade are also on a protest walk tonight under the slogan "Justice sleeps, you won't" and are visiting the addresses of several officials and people close to the authorities.
Citizens gathered in local Belgrade assemblies visited the address where the acting director of the Belgrade Public Utility Company "Gradska čistoća" Marko Popadić lives.
They recalled his statements "that the rain soaks the trees and then the trees fall", his attack on KTV journalists, as well as the affair on the purchase of a tablet computer and many others, and the death of a city cleaning worker, reported FoNet's reporter.
Citizens had previously blocked the intersection of Bulevar Kralja Aleksandar and Rooseveltova Street and paid their respects to the victims of the Croatian military-police action "Storm" with a minute of silence.
Marko Bataković from the Zvezdara Citizens' Association told N1 that the gathered will visit the addresses where the director of the Public Utility Company "Gradska čistoća" Marko Popadić, the brother of the President of the Serbian Parliament Igor Brnabić, allegedly lives, and then to the address where the Prime Minister of Serbia Đuro Macut allegedly lives.
The crowd shouts "SNS mafia" and "Investigation then prison".
Commemoration in Novi Sad
The gathering called "30 years - we remember", which on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the operation "storm” organized by Novi Sad students in the blockade, started at 20 pm at the intersection near the Futoška market in Novi Sad.
"We do not forget crimes without punishment. Never again, no one again," said the students in the invitation to the commemorative meeting.
A representative of the students addressed those gathered at the Futoška market.
"For both sides, the people were just a calculation. Croats are proud of this, and this regime is abusing it for its own benefit. The abuse of the victims must stop, we do not remember the victims as numbers, we remember them as people of flesh and blood, as people who had dreams. We remember the victims of the 'Storm' and we will not allow this kind of history to repeat itself," said the gathering.
After the speech, the students called on the citizens to stay at the intersection near Futoška pijaca and block it.
They first gathered at the campus of the University of Novi Sad, and then headed in silence towards the intersection near the Futoška market.

The student commemoration was joined by the Citizens' Association of Sremski Karlovci.
"We will join the students and all people with a clean heart and face to commemorate the victims of the 'Storm' together," the statement concluded.
They also reminded that on Sunday, August 3, the 30th anniversary of this action in Sremski Karlovci was marked. This event was attended by the highest state officials.
"We witnessed how one of the most terrible sufferings of the Serbian people was shamelessly turned into a daily political circus yesterday. Bus convoys and the abuse of thousands of existentially endangered people completely desecrated this sacred memorial, and the speakers hypocritically vulturated their own victims," they state.
The people of Subotica against the visit of Dragoslav Bokan
Hundreds of citizens gathered in Subotica in front of the City Hall, as a sign of protest against the arrival of the director and commander of the paramilitary formation during the wars of the 1990s, Dragoslav Bokan, to mark the "Storm" action.
The police do not allow the people of Subotica to approach the City Hall. Those gathered blow their whistles, shout "whoa" to the police and say that they are "protecting war crimes", the portal N1 reported.
They carry banners "Whoever commanded the 'Eagles' has nothing to look for among people", "This is a city of coexistence, not a mouthpiece of extremism", "We do not agree that history is retold by ideologues of war", "Bokan does not represent victims, but an ideology of hatred, his presence is an insult".
A group of Subotica citizens previously addressed the public, institutions and city authorities regarding the "shameful decision to present Dragoslav Bokan, an ideologue, warmonger and promoter of political extremism, as the main guest and speaker at the commemoration of the anniversary of 'The Storm', one of the most tragic days in the history of the Serbian people".

Should the names of the candidates for the student list be published before the students themselves do it, is a difficult journalistic dilemma on which we currently do not have a consensus as an editorial staff.
Three incidents in seven days in Croatia brought back to the fore the topic of Ustaste and the relationship of the Croatian state towards the Serbian minority. What do they say in Serbia?
Students of several Belgrade faculties and the General Staff Ensemble initiative held a protest in front of the General Staff building, with the message that they will "defend this symbol of Belgrade with their bodies" if the government does not abandon plans to demolish it. Those present made a "ring" around this building, and drew a red line around it, over which those who plan to demolish this cultural property - crossing is forbidden
This regime seems to have created a new job - the designer of mischief for the sake of making life as miserable as possible for people who support the protests
Despite physical exhaustion, Diana Hrka, the mother of the victim Stefan, continues her hunger strike in front of Ćaciland. He says that he will not stop the protest and accuses the institutions of not doing their job and lying to the citizens.
Who among us has ever looked at all 250 names of parliamentary candidates on the list for which they want to vote? Although it is not stated anywhere, it is clear that the student list will be a buffet. If it matters to anyone, they have my vote, even if I don't like 249 names
Aleksandar Vučić is carrying out an unannounced coup d'état. It's for nothing. He has no defense against the demand for justice. Because how can he look into the eyes of a mother who is on hunger strike, calm the people on the streets and silence the schoolchildren who are shouting on the excursion - "Pump!"
Aleksandar Vučić thinks he is traveling to Brussels on Tuesday as the President of the Republic of Serbia, but he is actually leaving as the President of Ćaciland. That's what he reduced himself to, only he's still not aware of it
