In motion
12:00 The Plato
The 75th day of the Student Protest 96/97. has commenced. The students gathered
at the traditional place - the Plato. From the usual mobile speaker system,
voices of the guests and the hosts of the program could be heard. The most
famous guest of the day was Dusan Kovacevic. The students were presented with a
18 carat-gold whistle, the present of the Kuwait students. The present is
functional, which was shown to those present. The itinerary, which was, as
usual, held secret until then, was announced just before the walk.
13:00 The "Walk"
The itinerary was planned so it could encircle as many regime institutions as
possible. The students walked through the Vasina and Kolarceva streets, then
entered Balkanska from Terazije. The procession then passed the Train Station
and entered the Slobodana Penezica street. The students went past the Palace of
Justice, where the First Municipal Court is located. While returning to the
Plato, the procession flooded the Kneza Milosa street. I estimate that there
were approximately 40.000 students present, reminiscing of the first days of
the protest. The students thus showed that they will not give up the protest
until their demands are met.
