Student Protests in Niš Demand Political Change
Demonstrations highlight ongoing frustrations among students six months after initial protests began.
Students in Niš organized a protest march under the banner "Six months later, hands are still bloodier," as they called for political change and accountability in the Serbian government.
The protest took place near the Faculty of Philosophy, which was the first faculty in Niš to be blocked in December during earlier demonstrations against government policies and violence.
The march attracted local citizens, beginning at the Faculty of Philosophy and continuing to the Youth Bridge, which remained blocked until 8 PM. During the march, students addressed the crowd with speeches detailing their grievances and demands.
After reaching the Youth Bridge, the demonstrators proceeded to the University of Niš, which has been blocked for the third consecutive week, as part of the ongoing protests across the country.
At the fortress in Niš, a banner proclaimed "We want elections," highlighting the students’ demand for political reform and electoral integrity.
The protest also referenced a controversial banner that appeared at the Niš fortress displaying the message "Better dead than Nazi," accompanied by an emblem associated with hate groups.
This provoked discussions among protesters regarding the resurgence of extreme nationalist sentiments within Serbia.
The movement reflects broader discontent among the youth and students in Serbia, who are increasingly vocal about their desire for a more democratic political landscape and accountability from their leaders.
