Five gendarmerie vehicles, four police cars and one jeep arrived from Novi Sad in Bački Petrovac, two hours before the start of the protest rally and photo exhibitions from the protests, which was announced for 17 p.m.
And yet, the exhibition of photos from the protests that were taken in the last nine months in the places where Slovaks from Vojvodina live, has been opened, with a slight delay.
This was the third attempt to hold this exhibition, after the thugs tore up the exhibits on Saturday and then attacked the attendees.
The approach to the place from the direction of Rumenka, i.e. from Novi Sad, was blocked, the intervention unit of the police set up a cordon there - reported the reporter N1. SNS supporters with unregistered vehicles also helped them in this.
A column five kilometers long was formed from Bački Petrovac all the way to Rumenka. In it were veterans from Novi Sad, bikers from Novi Sad and numerous Novi Sad residents.
However, as the representative of the Initiative for the Rescue of Farmers, Sara Valentik, says, the support that was headed for Bački Petrovac made its way through detours, via the atar from the direction of Gložan. Ten activists of the Citizens' Movement Bravo came along the Danube-Tisa-Danube canal. They were greeted with a standing ovation.
"It was a small, subversive team, but saboteurs who don't carry weapons, but only a strong will. Our will is that small diversion and we will always act like that," Marija Srdić from the Bravo movement told N1.
The veterans, who are protesting because attacks on their colleagues from NS, which was attacked on Saturday by about thirty thugs at once. They are also demanding the release of two detained veterans.
Arrival of veterans in Backa Petrovac about a hundred veterans confirmed today. It turned out that the barricade was preventing them from entering the place, so they took detours, across the fields, and some managed to reach the bridge over the canal.
One of the eyewitnesses told "Vreme" that the attack on Saturday was "bloody. They were alone at the time and were beaten. The injuries are not serious, but they are furious because of the way they were attacked, for no reason. Fifty to two, that is not chivalrous."
He says that "other veterans rushed to their aid and the police took two of them into custody. Now we are heading to Bački Petrovac from all sides to demand their release."
It is not known why the two veterans were detained. Our interlocutor says that, "apart from the general places of helping traitors and the colored revolution", they have not defined any offense for them. As far as he knows, they have not been heard.
It is only known that they were detained for 48 hours.
They were detained after the incident at the exhibition of photos taken at the protests held in Vojvodina, which was supposed to be held in Bački Petrovac on Saturday, as part of the "Slovak National Festivities".
The exhibition was interrupted by disgruntled supporters of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
A new attempt to open this exhibition is scheduled for Sunday evening.
Ivan Bartoš, a resident of Bački Petrovac, told N1 that "Bački Petrovac united the whole of Serbia in a way, like Uzice, Kraljevo, Novi Pazar, Niš, Novi Sad and so on. There was never an intervention police in Bački Petrovac with shields - this is the first time in the history of this municipality. I hope it will be the last time. We only wanted to exhibit about 30 photos, whoever wanted could come and look at them." those who didn't, didn't have to come, but we didn't want to give in, because we shouldn't give in and we need to show that we have the will, as these other cities and municipalities in Serbia have shown," he said.
After the end of the exhibition, many citizens and veterans went to the protest held in Vrbas.
