Five students from Kragujevac, who have been blocking their university for three months, are running a relay marathon to Belgrade today to symbolically deliver an invitation to their fellow students from all faculties in Serbia for the large protest gathering “Let’s Meet on Sretenje” on February 15 in Kragujevac.
The relay started amid cheers, applause, flowers, and the sounds of “March on the Drina.”
The students will run along a route passing through Topola, Mladenovac, Sopot, and Avala, with their arrival in Belgrade expected around 10 PM tonight, in front of the Saint Sava Temple.
All five students are from the Faculty of Medical Sciences, from where the relay was launched, but they emphasize that they represent the entire University of Kragujevac.
Kragujevac residents gathered before 9 AM in Svetozara Markovića Street to see them off with whistles and drums, while locals will greet them along the way as they pass through neighborhoods like Bubanj and Jabučar.
The students will be accompanied by police vehicles along the route, and they will take turns running, just like professional marathoners.
“See you in Belgrade!” the students declared before taking off.
“Let’s meet on Sretenje!”
