The Walk
Today's walk took us along Vasina and Kolarceva street, across Terazije Square down Balkanska street, where the students booed in front of the building of the Student Syndicate (a puppet organization of the regime which is trying to sabotage the causes of the Student Protest '96). The walk continued along Nemanjina street to the building of the Government of Serbia, up Kneza Milosa street, past the Federal Parliament and the building of "Borba", and then back to Plato. |
