Transporter Milomir Jaćimović stated that he received a call from the police in Žabalj to pick up his driving license, which had initially been confiscated, after the medical examination for its extension was declared invalid.
Jaćimović’s license was confiscated on Monday, December 8, after he brought a medical certificate from an examination at the Novi Sad Institute for Health Protection of Railway Workers of Serbia. He was told at the Žabalj Ministry of Internal Affairs that this certificate was not valid and that the examination must be done at a health center.
Jaćimović explained that he did so, and the call to pick up his driving license finally followed.
“They were counting on me failing the medical examination, or that with such an approach they would scare away the other drivers,” the transporter stated.
He announced that, despite all obstacles, he continues the fight and support for the students, and he will drive them to a protest in Bačka Palanka on Saturday, December 13, and to Novi Pazar on December 21.
Jaćimović, who has supported the protests and transported students since the beginning, had seven buses confiscated by the police, and three vehicles have been returned to him. He is threatened with astronomical fines, which led him and his minor son to go on a hunger strike in front of the Novi Sad Banovina building. That radical form of protest was stopped on November 18, with the message that the fight continues.
