For days now, no one knows where the so-called “Kosovo walkers” are — the column of supporters of Aleksandar Vučić’s government from Kosovo and Metohija who set off on foot toward the “rally in Novi Sad.”
No one is announcing where the walkers are, nor what is happening with the Progressive Party rally in the city struck by tragedy on November 1, 2024, when the canopy of the Railway Station collapsed and killed 16 people.
A column of around 60 Serbs set off on foot from Kosovo and Metohija (KiM) three days before the commemorative gathering in Novi Sad, which was organized by students on November 1.
They said they, too, were heading to Novi Sad, but their motive was different — they were going to the rally of government supporters to show support for the president of Serbia and express opposition to “blockades and stopping Serbia.”
After eight days of walking, a welcome was organized in Belgrade for the walkers from KiM, in front of the National Assembly building. Supporters from other parts of Serbia were also present — recorded as they departed by bus for Belgrade from Raška, Novi Sad, Kula, Sombor, and other cities.
After the gathering near the Assembly, held at the same time as the rally of citizens who responded to the call of Dijana Hrka, there was no further word about the walkers or the rally in Novi Sad.

“THAT WOULD BE A HIGH-RISK SECURITY EVENT”
Vučić had announced that rally for the 11th, or 15th, or 16th of November, but it seems the Progressives have given up on going to Novi Sad.
Bojan Pajtić, professor at the Faculty of Law in Novi Sad, told Nedeljnik that “it is obvious that reason or fear has prevailed, and a decision has been made for that rally not to take place.”
“Aleksandar Vučić knows that organizing a rally in Novi Sad would amount to a kind of mockery of the victims, but also of the citizens of Novi Sad,” Pajtić believes.
He pointed out that “the deadline in which that rally had been announced has expired.”
“Clearly, it will not happen, and that is wise. Because, given the wounds inflicted on the people of Novi Sad and the anger they feel toward the Serbian Progressive Party, it would be very difficult to avoid some incidents, and it would be a high-security-risk event,” Pajtić assessed.
Pajtić stated that, in that sense, he welcomes “the decision not to organize an SNS rally in that city.”
“She really has nothing to look for there anymore. Neither now, nor in the future,” Pajtić said.
