In Niš, the blockade of the bridges near Ureda, near Delta, near Roda, near Dis, as well as the blockade of the Bridge of Youth has ended. All participants of the protest converged on St. Sava Square
After five hours of blockade, students in Niš they unblocked five bridges, and on Trg Svetog Sava, from five directions, came together.
At 11 a.m., Niš students in blockade began a five-hour blockade of five bridges as part of the "555" action, organized on the occasion of five months of student protests in Serbia.
Five of the busiest bridges in Nis are blocked - near Uredo, Delta Planeta, Roda, DIS, as well as the Bridge of Youth.
The protest is designed as a peaceful but determined demonstration lasting five hours, during which symbolic actions will be held.
The idea, as stated by the informal group of students in Niš, is to draw attention to current social and political problems.
Conversations with students were organized at all locations where citizens can ask about the blockades or just send words of support.
On the Bridge of Youth, there are many interested citizens who want to know more about the five-month struggle of Nis students. Citizens also play social games here.
At Dis, the second stand inflates balloons and makes balloon animals, while across the street are food and drink stands where they make hotdogs, and there are rolls and sweets, as well as local and international coffee.
Citizens leave donations to support students in further actions.
A quiz for citizens was also organized at the Bridge of Youth - and the questions ranged from who is the president of the Serbian Parliament and who said that children are the property of the state, to how many faculties there are in the territory of Niš, questions from the field of film, science and general information.
Threats to students on social networks
Some of the comments on the Southern News website following the news that the students announced they would block five bridges for five hours included threats and calls for violence from starting fires on both sides of the bridges "to suffocate from the smoke" to violently ending the protest by "running a truck through the crowd".
Calls were also sent to the police to use force.
Aggressive rhetoric on the Južni Vesti website has been visible since the beginning of the student blockades, but in the afternoon and evening hours on Wednesday, April 2, it culminated for the first time in calls for violence.
Signed as Lj, the commentator said that there could be a "slaughterhouse" if the state does not take any action, and then said that he could "shoot a movie" on someone on Saturday and drive a truck over the bridge while students and citizens are there.
When a commentator who supports the students in the blockade called the dissidents to come to the bridges, Lj took it as a call for war and bloodshed, and warned him that he might go "to God for the truth".
Tires should be set on fire so that students suffocate from the smoke
A commenter signed as Mitrović Vučić wrote that we should "burn the tires on both sides of the bridge".
"Why are you harassing people and that on weekends? It makes no sense anymore. Then you should light the tires on both sides and you will suffocate from the smoke", is the comment of a reader signed as Mitrović Vučić.
On the website of Southern News, there were also those who did not want to harm the students and citizens who will block the bridge with personal actions, but that is why they think that they should be physically harmed by the police.
"I call on the PU Niš to send five teams of well-trained special officers with long batons and to disperse this dregs of lezilebovics, idlers and ladolez", wrote the commentator Go Go.
Use the water cannon
Svetislav Simunovski believes under the news on Facebook that students prevent economic growth and work against the state, while Vlada Milošević tried to put himself in the "shoes of the regime" and said that he would "use a water cannon so that they would wake up and not dream of fairy tales."
In addition to extreme comments that called for violence and publicly targeted the Niš students, there were also comments that the students played tricks, bored both God and the people, but also that the protests lead nowhere except for "their fooling around and living".
"I supported them. But when they didn't pump it out on March 15, now it's a five-hour harassment. I'm going on a trip. It's time for the police to disperse the scumbags and generation Z, the losers who think that faxing without learning will end itself. This is written by someone with a faculty who warmed a chair in the 90s when the faculty was too difficult," stated one comment.
