Students occupying faculties of the University of Novi Sad are organizing a major protest this evening at 6 PM at Freedom Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As they explained to Nova.rs, they want to share their work so far and bring it closer to fellow citizens who have been supporting them for more than a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was precisely this desire that led to the planning of this protest. We want to show them our ideas for the mechanisms that will guide us in the fight against corruption at the institutional level,\u201d the students say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They explain that this evening they will present to their fellow citizens the \u201cfirst tangible sprouts\u201d of what follows after more than a year of their joint struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSociety is a large and sluggish ship, and in the previous period citizens entrusted us with steering it in the right direction. In a short time, we have gone from being ordinary students to actors participating in important social processes. Such trust implies an obligation to behave responsibly. On the first day, we started with one word \u2013 Responsibility. It is the first among equals \u2013 a word that brought together such a large number of citizens with an inexhaustible desire to achieve progress toward a healthier society, freedom, and the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
