Students from the organization "Borba" organized a performance in front of the Palace of Serbia in Belgrade, where the Government session was held, which was attended and chaired by the President of the Republic, Aleksandar Vučić, and during the performance they condemned Prime Minister Miloš Vučević's shameful statement that Serbia "it cannot be stopped because of 15 people who died, neither because of 155, nor because of 1555 people".
Students from "Borba" emphasized that they are dissatisfied with Vučević's meeting with representatives of the Student Conference of Universities of Serbia (SKONUS), which they claim is in the service of the government.
They wanted to leave the banners with messages to the authorities in front of the Palace of Serbia, but security told them that the banners would be removed immediately, so they left them at the construction site across from that building.
On the banners were written the messages "SKONUS = SNS", "15, 155, 1.555 reasons for change", "Demands not met", "Illegitimate prime minister + illegitimate student representative = illegitimate agreement".
The students also stated that they want to send a message regarding the statement of Jelena Tanasković, who is the acting director of Serbian Railways, that the only responsible culprit is Goran Vesić, and assessed that this is correct and that she will not take responsibility away from herself with this gesture.
