Students say: "There is no New Year, you still owe us for the old one"

In the official announcement, the students announce a gathering on December 31 in Pionirski Park from 22.30:23 p.m., a walk to Student Square from 23.52 p.m., and 15 minutes of silence at XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. After the tributes, student performances were announced.

Namely, following the model of the student demonstrations from 1996, there will be a joint reception of students and rebellious citizens, and at midnight there will be no hearty congratulations, celebrations and songs, but fifteen minutes of silence for the fifteen victims of the tragedy in Novi Sad.

The gathering of students starts at 22:30 p.m. in Pionirski Pak, from where the walk continues to Student Square - the epicenter of this protest.

A wave of noise, then a wave of silence. And then, until 1 hour past midnight, there will be various student performances.

Student of the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, Petar Mladenović, says that this kind of New Year's Eve is proof that the students are persistent, and that they will not leave their faculties until the demands are met.

"Many of us will protest in a dignified and peaceful manner tomorrow and thus welcome the New Year." In moments when there is a general crisis in society, students have nothing to celebrate, but use this moment to send their message even stronger. We cannot celebrate and worry about missed exams if our demands are not met", Mladenović believes.

Just a few hundred meters from there, a completely different face of Belgrade. On Republic Square, Marina Visković, Željko Vasić and Haris Džinović will perform as part of the Belgrade Winter event.
