For the third consecutive day, students from various regions of Serbia have been marching toward Kragujevac to participate in the “Let’s Meet at Sretenje” protest scheduled for February 15th.

Along their route, local citizens are hosting receptions, offering refreshments and meals.

During their march to Kragujevac, students paused for 11 minutes at exactly 52:15 to honor the victims of the Novi Sad Railway Station canopy collapse, then resumed their journey.

A group of Belgrade students spent the night in Aranđelovac, continuing their trek toward Kragujevac on Thursday.

They arrived in Topola, where local residents greeted and welcomed them warmly.

Students from Niš reached Paraćin, where they were met by hundreds of supporters.

They plan to continue to Jagodina, where they will stay overnight at the Faculty of Pedagogical Sciences on Thursday.

Two groups of students that departed from Kraljevo and Čačak on Thursday morning will merge in Mrčajevci, proceeding together toward Kragujevac for the protest.

These columns are accompanied by hundreds of citizens from Kraljevo and Čačak.

Thursday evening, these students will stay overnight in Knić, where a reception is planned for those marching toward Kragujevac at the bridge over Gružansko Lake.

They will then be accommodated at the “Dobrica Erić” School Center for the night.

Students who have blocked the University of Kragujevac are organizing a protest on February 15th, with participation from fellow students across Serbia.

They have announced a 15-hour blockade of Lepenički Boulevard.

This marks the second instance since the student protests began on November 26th that a group of academics has walked through Serbia to join demonstrations in another city.

Previously, a group of students from Belgrade walked for two days to reach Novi Sad to participate in protests there on February 1st.

The tragedy in Novi Sad, which resulted in 15 fatalities, has sparked widespread protests throughout Serbia.

The demonstrations are predominantly led by students, who are currently blocking over 60 universities across the nation, demanding accountability from the authorities both criminally and politically.

Even some high schools have joined in the blockade efforts.

The students’ demands have garnered support from professors, educators, lawyers, farmers, actors, and other citizens.

The government, under President Aleksandar Vučić, asserts that the students’ demands have been addressed.

However, students involved in the blockade claim that their demands remain unmet and that they will continue their protests.
