Action participants "A student in every village" announced that they are suspending activities in Republic of Srpska, assessing that due to, as they state, obstructions, actions of the police and provocations of local individuals, they are no longer able to continue the action in a responsible manner.
Students from Serbia were supposed to talk with the citizens of Banja Luka on Friday. In a post on Instagram, they stated that they came to Republika Srpska with the intention of talking to people from the other side of the Drina, and that these meetings will remain the most important part of their stay, writes FoNet.
As a special experience, they singled out meetings in Trebinje, Doboj, Brčko, Bijeljina and Višegrad, where, as they state, citizens approached them, talked to them, offered help, food and accommodation and opened the doors of their homes to them.
The students pointed out that many of these people did not know who they were before their arrival, but, according to them, they still accepted them as their own. They added that during the previous days they met new people, broke prejudices and conveyed the message of freedom.
At the same time, they stated that since the beginning of the planned talks in several cities, they encountered obstructions, the actions of the police and provocations by local individuals. That is why, as they announced, they concluded that in the existing circumstances they could no longer responsibly continue the action.
They especially thanked the people who supported them during, as they stated, the most difficult moments.
"We do not want the actions of individuals to cast a shadow over hundreds of people who have shown us something completely different these days. We bear witness to the fact that the leverage of the mafia regime reaches across the border, but also that we are ready and have the support to send that mafia regime to the past on October 25. They are not the reason why we stop the action. They are the reason why we will see each other again", the students said.
