“This is not a time for celebration”: Students on the streets in Niš “We believe that this is not the time for us to celebrate considering what has been happening in the past few months,” said Niš student Anđela Jeremić for N1.
“Let’s have a free state and justice first,” she added.
“Fulfill the demands”: Belgrade students say
“This is how we celebrate the New Year,” said a student from the Faculty of Political Sciences for TV N1. “We are organized and look at what the product of all this is,” he added.
